A new 1rm for me, 232.5kg | 512lbs.
My shoulders look as if they are a little too far forward and my head positioning is never really settled. But other then that any pointers or tips to improve my form?

PR's are never pretty. As long as you got it up and didn't die I say it's all good.
Look under your chair. YOU GET A REP, AND YOU GET A REP, REPS FOR EVERYONE! If I get a rep, you get a rep, every time. Give me a link to make my life a little easier.
If you don't give me a link and you didn't post in the thread you rep'd me in, I'm not gonna go searching for you. I'll get everyone on recharge.

Depends from person to person really. Some people are more suited to lifting sumo (wide stance, arms in between legs) while others are more suited to deadlifting conventional (close stance, arms outside of legs).
Sumo puts more emphasis on your hamstrings and glutes where as a conventional is more back. Pretty much all the same muscles get used, just to different extents.

You need more tension on your hamstrings. As soon as you start your ass shoots up and puts the stress on your back.
Keep your shoulders a little more behind the bar at the start and focus on sitting back, that will help keep your torso upright and make the lockout smoother which looked super awkward here.
