You like like someone who is built for, and has the mobility and everything else for squatting well and squatting heavy, at least to me you do.-S-
You aren't locking out your knees at the top of your deadlift - you should. Try thinking about bringing your hips forward once the bar passes your sticking point (likely mid-calf or around the knees).
You have got _way_ more in you than that weight, I'm sure.

my current tested max is 485- i pulled that(stupidly, i admit) cold, no warmup, a few weeks back (with homemade straps)
I now have better straps, and with warmup would like to think I'll break the 500lb mark.... for some reason my deadlift is lacking behind all the others.,.. id LOVE to see 550 out of me, maybe we will test that at the actual gym because I dont have the weights lol

Ton’s of great advice, well done starting this thread. You’ve got a team of PT’s working with you now.
All I’ve got to say is you’ve been blessed with the gift of strength. Go for for it mate, let’s see what ya got. Learn, lift & dial in your form & who knows what you’re capable of, my guess is big things brother.
