The vid shows him at about 30-40º crab.
Makes sense as the records show: Winds were 33kts to 49kts at the time, gusting to around 55kts. coming out of 290º to 310º. They were landing on runway 23(230º).

The second shot was on runway 33.
Doesn't it appear that he touched the left wing first.........and then really scraped the right wing upon correction?
