Started 5x5 a month ago. After getting to 55kg squats I started to feel knee pain. Now I want to fix my squats, but don't know how.

Any tips?

either fix your ankle and hamstring flexibility, stop squatting on plates and work towards a proper highbar squat
or squat low bar and also get rid of the plates.

read SS, especially the part about knees traveling forward

Oh I only got the plates, because I read that it could help.

Do you want to fix your squat or the knee pain? Your squat looks fine, I'd just get used to not using the plates (can be dangerous at higher weight, if you're serious about lifting buy some oly lifting shoes) and lock out at your hip joint at the same time as your knee joint. As for the knee pain, I'd warm up more and/or get some knee sleeves.
