A lot of the workout from day to day is the same, bsically i just switched up the basic 3 compounds to different days beacuse squats and deadlifts take all energy out of me and i can not do them on the same day. my main focus are my lats and shoulders

Lower the volume.  If squats and deads really did take that much energy out of you, then you shouldn't be able to complete all those excess exercises.

Looks like way too much you'd be rushing to get that under 45 minutes...

--I'd make it more like this..
Squat - 3X5 - change to deads on 2nd day
Bench Press- 3x5 
Standing row-3x8 
Overhead DB press- 5x8 
Pulls Ups-4x8 - Maybe do chunups on your 2nd day
Skull Crushers-3x8 - Maybe swap this with barbell curl on your 2nd workout to pair with chin ups
Bent over row-3x8 



My thoughts anyway! Also I think your order should be more like so..(again I'm no expert, just what I've learnt from peeps)


1.Squat - 3X5 
2.Bench Press- 3x5 
3.Pulls Ups-4x8 - Maybe do chunups on your 2nd day
4.Bent over row-3x8 

5.Overhead DB press- 5x8 
6.Skull Crushers-3x8 - Maybe swap this with barbell curl on your 2nd workout to pair with chin ups


7.Standing row-3x8
