We're nearly 1/2 done with our May challenges, one of which is using the front squat to specifically work and increase the flexibility in our shoulders, hips and ankles. How are you doing? Are you seeing improvement yet? Are you working your squat at home on your days off?
This is an old picture of Julie and she's already improved from this shot. She has great hip flexibility where her butt can just about touch the ground. She's still working on her shoulders.

Your focus is on extreme depth so your hips are as low as possible while still maintaining good back extension, in addition to getting those elbows as high as possible so eventually they will be parallel to the floor.
Probably unfair to use Chad as an example but this is what you're working toward. :)
