Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.

I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.

Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.
