Stick with the front squats but try squatting with a raised heel either weightlifting shoes or metal 2.5 kg plates under your heels . This will allow you to squat deeper through increased ankle mobility and also to maintain a more upright chest position . A front squat requires more conrol through your abs and mobility in the upper thoracic so you should stick with at as you will lean forward even more in a regular squat effectively turning the movement into a good morning . Look up some squat mobility drills on Youtube, Kelly Starretts channel has lots of good information but to get you started try this simple drill -

I'm doing SS atm, with front squats instead of back squats, because of lack of shoulder mobility. I'm really struggling with form on the front squats and end up leaning forwards and lifting with my lower back. I guess it's partly because of my height, as I'm quite tall. The Internet seems to agree.
Which exercise would you do instead of these squats? Some sort of dumbell squat?
