Hi,
I think you can check if the X axis left end and right end are staying a same height.

I can only see the printing object didn't stick to the bed from your video...Are the two distance same?

And i think it's the abnormal anto home of Z axis caused it,you'd better observe Z endstop status when you auto home the printer:

i altered the levels on the Z axis so they are equal.
