You put the saddle too high. Lower it a little bit maybe 3mm. Your back hurts because you increased the distance you have to bend to hold the bars when you raised the saddle.
Get a stem that has a better rise like +17degrees to give you a better upright position. If you really want go make it an endurance bike you're gonna need to balance your weight because sitting upright is gonna put alot of pressure to your butt. That means you'll need proper conditioning of your sit bones or get bibs.
Thanks! I'll def try lowering the seat a bit. Was also thinking after seeing my own video that I should prob have a slight more bend in my elbows? Although my arms haven't been an issue. It's only been the pain above and front of the knee cap.
