The overhand grip lat pulldown is an amazing exercise that if done right, has many benefits.

How you do them makes a huge difference in the results you see, good or bad. I’ll briefly go over some big common mistakes and some helpful cues...
.
Common mistakes I see:

Ego lifting (too much weight)

Shoulders roll forward.

Using a lot of momentum (swinging or going to fast).

Not squeezing elbows down as far as possible.

Only focusing on concentric portion (pulling portion).

Top 5 cues:

Lean back slightly and fully engage your core.

Focus on pulling your elbows down (focus on the movement not the resistance).

Keep your shoulders rolled back and down, and squeeze your shoulder blades together.

Keep the bar travelling in a straight line directly to your upper chest.

Slow down the eccentric portion (extending portion).

Next time your in the gym, lower the weight slightly and try these.
