as someone pointed out in this video from 1:35 to 1:53 the main isn't centering well even when fully pulled in with just 2:1

You were going to windward in that sequence? I thought you were reaching.
Car is out rather a lot, yes. You do have a split tail on the traveller sheet so you are able to center it?

Mainsheet looks like it needs much more tension and that is an easy fix wink (I dont know your boat and you did not film the sails and their trim, but the sheet looks really loose).
