Oh my! This is where I wish my memory was better, because I do it recall just what I did.
On the one hand, I am pretty careful about following install instructions for bike parts.
OTOH, it was three seasons ago, or maybe four, and I honestly do not recall doing that press-fit as described in the video.
OTOOH, I do know that the bike is the one for which I bought larger washers for my threaded rod. OTOOOH, those may have been to seat the tapered headset.
If I had to guess, I would guess that I followed the instructions and just do not remember well. Can't be sure though, because I don't remember.
