lifting rounded shoulders

What you have here is a situation where someone who has more information (can see you, watch you do the movement, and discuss the pain) has given you an educated guess of the problem (posture) , and clear direction to correct it (exercise to correct your posture).

Since we have none of that information, all we can do is guess based on what you told us someone else told you. So either go to a lifting forum or the fitness subreddit and post a form check, or do the exercises and see if that corrects the issue.

Do this when you wake up and before you go to bed. You'll feel your posture correct itself immediately the first time you do it.

Also face pulls (which the DYEL guy in that video probably doesn't do). Ensure you are properly externally rotating your shoulders. You might not have the mobility at first but that wall exercise will help.

Impingement or you’re lifting weight way too heavy.

Rounded shoulders and an imbalance wouldn’t cause severe pain

Were you previously able to do shoulder presses without pain? Or has there always been pain? This sounds like an injury. I don't think rounded shoulders, which are incredibly common, should cause sharp pain on shoulder presses.

Do you have pain when doing the motion without weight?

Is there a point you can press with your finger that hurts more on the right side than the left?

I'm not an MD though. You should see a doctor, can't hurt.
