Looks fairly comfortable and powerful, no glaring issues with any of the body angles which are likely to cause you problems, so that's a good start. Main thing I would say is that you're not very low, your back is quite a way from being flat, though the camera angle might be misleading as the fence top also seems to be sloping down from left to right! Would look to see if you can get the pads a bit lower, which is likely to also involve adjusting reach and seat to maintain those good body angles.

I.e. Dropping the front end will close up your hip angle, requiring you to move the saddle up and forwards a little (or sitting more on the nose of it). Moving your butt forward means also moving pads and bars forward by the same amount to maintain the same upper body angles. Think of it as maintaining pretty much the same body position, but rotating the whole thing forward around the bottom bracket to get your back flatter.

saddle is too low and bike's too small.

also, to more effectively give suggestions the angle of camera needs to be changed to directly perpendicular and at about hip height.

How much resistance was on the trainer when you took that video? You need to be at a tempo or race-pace resistance in order to make any saddle height recommendations.

The reach to your aero bar is too short, which is why you thought the original position was too aggressive. I'm guessing you had shoulder
and neck discomfort, and found it difficult to look forward.
