Your flame should be 1inch from the bottom of the pot to cover the bottom more evenly. You can sit your burner on a metal lid to raise it closer to the pot. Oxygen shouldn't be the problem with this setup. You could also make another pot stand with a hanger that goes deeper into the stove. Remember 1 inch is the sweet spot.
Your burner seems to be the largest issue that prevents a good boil. The orange flame indicates that there is lots a vapor, but not enough oxygen. I personally have a similar setup which has been used for years without problem; however, I use Trangia burner. I have baked muffins, biscuits, rice, noodles, gravy/ sauces very easily. I can no longer purchase the correct fuel for the burner where I live, so the setup is rarely used today.
Aye, I get better results with an actual Trangia burner (and, normally, when camping I do since I have it anyway) but wanted a way to keep a burner in the pocket to use in a pinch. And, yeah, I did get more yellow flames here outdoors than I normally do indoors (when it's more blue).
To boil that amount of water will take a n average of 12 minutes. Your burner is very inefficient and to far from the bottom of your cup. Try building a few different burners, it's a fun little project to do. And try different gaps between the burner and cup. Somewhere between 1" and 1 and a half inch, and never boil more water than you need for your meal or drink. Have fun with it these things always take some tinkering.😊
I don't think the burner is the problem. I did the same.with my pathfinder. But it boils every time because I put an alluminium windshield around it. Big difference.
I did the same with my pathfinder set. Mine boils every time because I built an alluminium windshield which goes around the whole thing. I keep the windshield in the canteen bag when not in use.

If you want super hot water boiled quickly just get a kelty kettle.
... or an electric jug... or a furnace... or a nuke... but if you want all the features of a canteen the learn from this discussion how to get them.
😊film from the front. I see your arm to much
