Hard to tell with the blues but to mee it looks like it’s just a small hammer that isn’t quite fully open any pictures closer with whites

Mag slightly high (1300-1350 desired) but I see the likely issue already. Hammers are not picky about their placement but my experience has been at the sand not favorable as sand particles irritate them. More important is the flow in the video. Hammer require moderate light and water flow. You want to avoid the extremes with them. . . . Extreme light and extreme flow. Additionally too much flow can tear their flesh and cause polyp recession. They should sway with the current.
Too much light will cause them to emit their zooxanthellae which is their color and energy source and lead to bleaching.
Assure the calcium level is no less than 380-400 for skeletal health.

I was running my radion xr15 4th gen at 55% on a 36 gallon bowface I dropped down to 43% and my mp40 is set at 34% highest and my 2 mp10 at 45-50 %

The flow may be aimed at the hammer. Move it away slightly

These are some of mine:
