If this works, I still think your clutch cable might just be too loose.
In your video, I see the detent getting pinned by the sprung piece. It seems to be in the right position. Try gently rolling the rear tire while trying to shift it. No clutch is needed for this when the engine is off. If the dogs in the gears on the countershaft/driveshaft are not lined up, it won't shift. Normally the wheel it turning and the engine is turning while shifting. Rolling the rear wheel will allow the dogs to align, so it can shift.

Thanks for that explanation, now I see why the bike rocking matters. (
