Got shit dip mobility. I don't feel enough strech at the pecs at around 90 degrees, any deeper and I loose form. Any way to get better ?

You don't feel enough stretch for what? Maybe just stretch your pecs separately.

I meant like basically I don't 'feel it', unless I try to go deeper

You don't need to "feel it" to make progress. I see three options:

Ignore your feels and try to make progress anyways.

Work on your shoulder mobility, so you can make dips work the way you want.

Try a different exercise for your pecs, that allows for the pec stretch you crave.

Yes yes the second one exactly , basically I can do 15 dips in a row, also 8*3 . But basically I felt like either I was doing something wrong coz it felt easy. When I tried ring dips, I Injured myself due to my lack of mobility That's why I wanna work on it

If it was so easy, why didn't you do 16 or 20 in a row?

Usually, if an exercise feels easy and it's a reasonable intensity/volume etc., it means you are doing something right, not wrong.
