Squat form

So last week i went to the gym thinking i would only try to attempt my 1rm. I benched 120kg(265lbs) and tried squatting, my legs didn’t feel that great, i squatted 145kg(320lbs), then thought i should do some reps. I put on 110kg(243lbs) and did 4x5, this is my fifth and final set, i tried doing as many as i could and got 8 reps. I don’t really know if my form is good, apart from the fact that i was really struggling on the final reps. I’ve been going to the gym for about a month.
