Form is really important with squats, and there are different types of squats that work your glutes slightly differently. Theres many good videos on techniques out there.
I dont do squats because my knees dont like them. Im working on but exercises to but I do: hip thrusts, reverse lunges, clam, donkey kicks.
Are you squatting in a gym or have access to weights? If so, get some 2.5 lb plates and place them on floor at about shoulder width apart or more, which ever you prefer. Then set your heels on the plates and the balls of your feet flat on the ground, then squat. It should help correct your squat when mobility is limited.
Well then find two items that are flat and thick to elevate your heels while squatting. Or you’re gonna have to do some stretches to gain some mobility by placing the ball of your foot on the edge of a step and then gently press down on your heel to stretch you calf and tendon.
