Yes, your w4 is not set up correctly for your situation. You need to fix it. How much of your pay is supplemental, bonus, rsu pay?

Just under half is a bonus. Do they withhold less than normal for those?

Yes, off payroll pay can't use the algorithm, so they withhold the most common tax bracket, 22%. That's not enough for you, since you are high income. So the dollars over 100k total were seeing under withholding from 2% to 10%

At your income, running the withholding calculator at least twice a year is needed to keep on top of withholding.
