Just because they were replaced recently doesn't mean it was done right.

Rounded splines. Larges gaps inbetween splines. Not tight on splines.

When I greased it I took a look, nice sharp square edges

Id also still pop the rear cover off.. its a hassle, but Ive seen broken teeth cause bind/release issues. Have a buddy look inside while you are moving the shaft. Eliminate everything.

It may be time for bearings, possibly a ring and pinion. Not something that should generally be done at home unless you know your stuff. Might be a good idea to find a reputable mechanic that is know to work on rears and have him take a look

"He" could also be wrong. I'm a mechanic and we do rears at our shop. We get alot of people sent to us from other shops because the other shops dont know how to properly set up a rear. Im not saying you mechanic doesnt know what hes doing but a second in person opinion never hurts. Its had to see much from the video ther than theirs alot of driveshaft slop and it looks like you carrier bearing is clunking. Sorry man but it might be time to visit the mechanic
