Step-by-step
Open the purple outer ring and pale circular face before working through the orange-red needle. Compare the outside edge with the video before introducing another color; the first useful launch should create access rather than merely uncover a queue item.
The lower ring recedes while the needle and central face remain inside the upper arc. Watch the remaining shots and the five waiting spaces as this change develops. Reuse a parked color when its next matching region becomes exposed.
Finish the small pale center and red or dark needle pixels. Let the active pieces reach those targets before adding another Jelly. Check both sides of a small fragment because a single remaining cube can keep the board unfinished. Compare the final shape with the walkthrough and wait for the game to confirm the clear.
