Check this out from SkateIQ’s YouTube shorts. He’s helped me correct so many things I didn’t know I was mentally doing. This Ollie tip really put it into perspective: [VIDEO] Also, you’ll want to suck up your back foot up more as it’s limiting your front foot from pushing front the Ollie for your back foot. These short looks to be the correction from your video: [VIDEO] [VIDEO]

*Not an expert opinion* I’m not at the stage where I can Ollie yet. From what I’ve seen for explanations, when your back foot pops the board, you have to bring that foot up just before the tail begins to touch the ground. If you don’t lift it, the momentum when the board is supposed to pop ⬆️will be stopped by the back foot because that foot is still going ⬇️ instead of ⬆️with the pop. Hopefully this video below help

This video is so spot on for your issue: [VIDEO] You’re too focused on stomping into the ground when you pop. Focus more on jumping up into the air and I promise the board will come with you. You’ll feel great when you see how high the board will fly. Then you’ll start landing them and feeling super steezy. Keep working!
