The video shows that you're not doing the wiggle test properly.
-Wheels on the ground
-Engine off
-Have a helper move the steering wheel to the left until they JUST feel tension on the wheel.
-Now go the other way until they JUST feel tension again.
-Keep doing this smoothly and slowly until you find the loose component.
If you have been looking and STILL don't find it, replace the control arm bushings. I can see in the picture that your passenger lower control arm bushing looks dry and old.
