When following the SS method for deadlifting correctly could a person’s scapula end up too far in front of the barbell? Do to their anthropamorphy? And would this be ok?

I haven’t seen this in anyone I’ve ever coached, but I suppose it’s possible- though improbable.

I know this isnt a form check forum so I wont post my setup but I’m confused how I’m ending up with what I feel like is too far forward. If the bar is over midfoot and I bring my shins to the bar without moving it and set my back I dont get it.
