I didn't notice this step in the following disassembly video

The video is absolutely correct. Please note exactly what he did: he pull the toggle up with empty magazine, checked the chamber being empty, toggle/bolt assembly is locked by hold open, then he turned down TD level.
Since toggle/bolt was locked by hold open, the barrel is in its rear position, and the space behind the TD pin is cleared, so TD can turn. This turning is not by brute force and will not damage the gun.
