Hi all, can I get a second opinion please?

2021 Levo SL gen 1.

Getting a sort of grinding / vibrating noise when pedalling with reasonable effort. First thought it was the chain rubbing against the chain guide but moved the out of the way to check and it wasn't. In addition, I am getting some chain slippage when peddling. Cassette, chain and freehub are all brand new so I don’t think the slippage is coming from there.

Also, video below shows some play which I don’t recall seeing before (have only owned the bike 6 months) Does anyone else's SL have the same amount of play?

Am thinking sprag bearing on the way out?

Mine clatters lile that, slightly less i would say. I assume as it has meshed gears rather than a belt.
