No matter what, I can't feel my glutes working during the squat.
I'm 100% sure it's because of how I position my legs,
I took a oly lifting class once and the way they made me squat I could feel my butt working.
Problem is that I can't figure out out to replicate it by myself, I just remember the instructor pushing my right foot and inch further apart
and making me tilt my hips slightly ("pushing my ass out more" more or less).
But no matter what I can only feel my quads working when I squat.
just go deeper.
Learn the difference between highbar and lowbar squat.
Point your toes slightly outwards so your knees have a place to go when going ass to grass.

I only squat a little past parallel, and I usually don't feel much glute work while I squat. I usually feel them the next two days though. Also, yeah, push your ass out all the way. Show off that ass. Embrace the ass back feeling. Imagine touching the other side of the gym with your ass cheeks, really stretch them back bro. You might not feel an ass pump, but you should feel sore the next day.

You don't need to "feel" it. If you're extending your hips forcefully against a heavy load then your glutes are firing. Same with lats and pullups, or pecs and bench.
Have your toes pointed more forward and twist your feet into the ground. If you're lifting in heeled shoes then try using flats until you feel comfortable doing this, and then switch back to heels.

Squats aren't very good for glutes, hip thrusts and donkey kicks are the best exercises for glutes

I felt this way for awhile too.
But last time I did squats I realized if I squeeze my ass or flex it I can feel the soreness in it.
It's there, the muscles are just hidden under the fat right now. Keep going.
