Everything I have read says avoid Smyth machine. If your form isn’t good it may be you are lifting too heavy.
Looking in a mirror means your neck is straining and you risk injury.
Check your bar path - it should be vertical. I know when I struggle, the bar path shows it up.
Too tip - buy Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe - it has everything you need to squat and more.
