I've had the same problem, its either one of these two reasons.1.you're going below parallel 2.you are leaning too forward, which stresses you shoulders and involves the lower chest


Dips - Triceps Version

Tips: Using the parallel bars, grip the handles and push yourself up to your starting position. With ELBOWS CLOSE to body and hips straight, lower body until shoulders are slightly stretched. Push body up in same posture and repeat. You can bend and cross your legs or keep them straight. To work the triceps, keep your body STRAIGHT up and down and do not lean over. Leaning over would work more of the lower chest. You can add weight by using a Dip Belt.

hope my info helps

that means you're probably leaning forward too much and engaging your anterior delts
