Ape, falling backward

Trying to hold the ape position I find myself pushed backwards. The only way for me to correct is to arch my back and lean forward. I feel a lot of tension in my ankles. How do I correct or work on the position so that I can keep my back straight and more upright? Is this a particular symptom I should look to correct?

Ankle flexibility issue? I had surgery on mine and for a long time afterward the same thing would happen to me in a squat. Seems to have gone away now that I have more range of motion
