I would suggest that you start with an overhead squat assessment and see what other muscles may be compensating also as it is rare to have just 1 muscle/tendon cause all the issue. However, for the IT band I use foam rolling. Look for a video by Eric Beard on YouTube about it. He is amazing - teaches for NASM, years of hands on experience, etc. You may also want to "look up and look down" at muscles at the hip and in the lower leg which may be causing the IT Band to get "tight" as it compensates for other muscles not doing their job.

To prevent injury while using rubber band stretches in your exercise routine, make sure to choose a band with the appropriate resistance level for your fitness level, warm up before stretching, use proper form and technique, and avoid overstretching the band. Additionally, listen to your body and stop if you feel any pain or discomfort.
Can you predict the force needed to stretch the rubber band to 40.0cmwhy or why not?
No. You also need to know the properties of the rubber band - specifically, how much it stretches for every unit of force applied.
Why does an elastic band stretch?
It goes further because as the band stretches, more force is built up on it. When you let go of it, the force suddenly releases, and because the more you stretch it, the more force is on it. Thus, the further you stretch the further you launch.

Why does an elastic band stretch if there is weight on it?
The force exerted by the weight exceeds the force of the elasticity that normally keeps the elastic band in a contracted state. As the band stretches, the resistance increases to the point where it is equal to the force exerted by the weight.
