I can't tell what happened from the video but it also looks like the
pilot raised the right wing just as he/she was aligning the plane just
prior to touchdown.


The right wing raised, yes, but indications are that this was due a gust
of wind, not pilot control input.


Maybe. That it had a gust at the same time as he straightened to
align the plan and did not lower the right wing suggests a doomed
approach.
