Your back was "set" "better" in the older video than the newer video.  Fix that first and foremost in both the pull and the recovery in the clean.  A tighter back will give you "stronger" leverage.

If is not the case in the video, and is a more extremal case, exists a posibility of a ligament patology. I think good a medical opinion.

Doing goodmornings or back extensions with a tight arch will likely help. Snatch-grip presses will help strengthen the shoulders and upper back as well.

You could try widening your pulling stance a bit, and then try not to move your feet for the catch.
