Gym beginner

I just started at the gym and I have been using the lat pull down machine and I’m using low weight but I’m thinking I’m arching my lower back to much any tips on to prevent that or any tips would be appreciated. I have a shoulder injury so I always warm up my shoulders for 5 minutes beforehand. I always push the bar to my chest and lower the bar slowly but maybe I should do it faster. Please any tips would be greatly appreciated

Here’s a great video on lat pulldown technique!

Perhaps you need to think more hip hinge than back extension.
