It's very difficult to tell from the video, but is the curve of the pallets exactly concentric with the pallet arbor? The curve looks a bit tight but that may just be the angle of the video. You clearly can't move the pallets in any further, so if the curve is correct, the only other variables left are the angle of the impulse faces and the overall height of the pallet arms.
I'm an amateur tinkerer with no great knowledge of these things but, looking at the video, for the escape wheel teeth to land on the correct place, the pallets need to get further into the gaps between the teeth, in which case, the pallets need to be vertically thinner or cut squarer at the end.
I've only recently stumbled across your channel, so I may have missed this in a previous video - but how did you design the geometry of the escapement? When I've designed deadbeats I start with how much drop I want, then add enough lock that I'm confident the pallets will be inside the escape wheel diameter at the right time. I then run the numbers and see what lift would be produced, and adjust the drop if needed to change it. First few times I did it I built a little model to check it works first, which was really useful. Have you tried making a small scale model? You can tinker with that to get it working before committing to changing your real escapement.
Haha 😜 it’s confusing me more than anything. Normally I can at least see what I need to do but with this I feel I’m changing things in the blind! A little more reading and observing to do I think!
I have built this clock and had the exact same problem. I ended up slotting the holes in the frame and had to drop the frame more than you seem to have done up to press. If you send me your email I have a couple of videos I could send you

Good way to get frustrated ..??
