Hamstring sore from Squats
Not complaining, my hamstrings can use more workout,
but now I am wondering if it's not a form problem.
Leaning to forward or not going deep enough maybe.

It can be normal depending on how you squat.
Usually wide squatters who drive more through the heels with flat shoes activate glutes and hamstrings more.
Also going very deep ass to the floor as it's known will also get the glutes and hams even with a closer stance.
Remember the squat is a compound movement so many muscles contribute to it.
To make the quads a focus use a closer stance(feet inside shoulder width)and put heels on a 2x4 or use weightlifting shoes,drive through the balls of your feet more and try to stay as upright as possible.
Good luck.

Slowed, eccentrically loaded lifts often do that. If you 'divebomb' your squats it probably wouldn't happen but it's certainly not a problem.
BTW, it probably isn't actually training the hamstring much. You do need separate posterior chain work IMO.
