Yeah. The crimper he is using is made to crimp ground sleeves.After viewing the uTube video which I don't normally do. I do see the problem and it is the type of crimpers he is using. It is not design to properly crimp the terminals as it is for a different of connectors like cable lugs. Of course it going not to crimp properly. As noted the solution is to reverse the way the crimping is done. There are proper crimpers out there.
