Noob lifter here.
I am experiencing discomfort in my upper back / lower neck when squatting. I've tried with and without padding and I am fairly sure my technique is OK.
Are there any other things I can do to remedy the situation? Can I switch squats for leg press?

Its okay to switch squat for press, squat isnt okay for all body types.
What kind of pain ? Bones, joints, muscles ?

Feels like a kind of pulling sensation between the vertebrae. I feel it the most after I rack the bar.

Considering I don't even squat 1 plate and started with just the bar, I think yes.

You do. No shit you feel discomfort with a piece of metal pushing agains the bone. Learn to hold it on your traps

no it's not, squats are nothing like leg press
that's like saying if it is OK to switch bench press for sprints.

Retun with a vid and we'll talk.
