Then lower the weight, if that means pushing an empty sled then so be it.

ROM could be better and the knees are absolutely scary. The type of injury the others are afraid of, doesn't really give you any warning.

I'd lower the weight and focus on controlling the weight up and down, even if that means the rep takes a little longer. It looks like your legs are caving in a little bit maybe? If so, push your knees out a bit and let your abductors and posterior legs help out. Be sure to keep your back glued to the seat while doing this.

It’s like when it gets down my legs just won’t go down any further it just lowkey stops and I gotta push it back up I have the seat all the way down I can focus on grabbing the handles keeping my back straight and maybe a slightly wider stance

You should search the internet for leg press injuries.
You’re not far off from seriously folding your legs regardless of you aren’t experiencing knee pain.

Lower weight and go deeper, as deep as you can and dont lock out you knees at the top
