(New here) question about bench press and shoulder blade retraction

Hello! I’m new here and new to working out in general! With Bench pressing, whether it’s barbell or dumbbells, I’ve heard a lot about keeping the shoulder blades retracted (I’ve always been a flat back bencher but I want to learn the shoulders retracted version) but do they need to be retracted tightly through out the movement? I’ve tried this several times and I feel somewhat discomfort in my lower back when I tried a dumbbell incline bench press. And I can’t seem to keep my shoulder blades retracted when doing a flat bench press. Any advice/tips? Thanks! (Apologies for the long first post!)
