It's hard to tell from the video, but does flipping your stem give you more handlebar height? You don't have any spacers currently above the stem to put below it, which would be the normal way to get the height adjustment.
On my specialised diverge I was way too stretched out. Changed stem from 120mm to 90mm and flipped it so angled upwards, put cleats all way to the back on shoes, and got spirit level on first half of saddle to make it level. Loads better after that. Moving cleats back might help tingling feet
Great video. I just got a new gravel bike, and used this site to do the fit. I've had a full on retul fit on my road bike, but made a couple minor changes, and used this on that bike too, and seeing that my saddle was 10mm high. I've been having issues with my hip flexors, and, sure enough, felt totally different. I'm lucky (or maybe stupid) enough to have a gravel bike, road bike and an old bike specifically for the indoor trainer and I used it on all of them so far.
Your handlebars need tilting back to normal. 1. Check if you can flip the stem. Theres 2 ways it can go and you need it to lead up not down. 2. The way to increase the height of handlebars is they and the stem are raised together by the spacers on the fork top where the stem attaches. All the spacers need to be underneaththe stem and the top cap on the stem. 3. If youve done 1 and 2 then you might need to buy handlebars that flare upwards as another option But for definite you need your handlebars tilting back down to normal.
have a look at adjustable height stems . You will not be able to rise the bars if your stack height cant be adjusted (ie your fork crowns too short.) The stem can be adjusted higher or lower via a "hinge" on the stem. Or you can try rotating your existing stem upwards rather than it being slammed if it is at the mo. Also sliding the saddle forward on the rails helps with your reach within reason as it brings you closer to the bars. just go a tiny bit at a time though.. Also moving the saddle fore and aft normally has to be done when raising the saddle height as it also affects the reach.
Only way to increase reach is put the saddle back but that'll throw your leg and back position out. In that case, you need a longer stem. Your hoods are way too high as well.

Great videos by the way. Glad youve got some momenyum back on your channel bud
