Step-by-step
Clear the pale jar rim and dark lid before opening the green plants and red interior patches. 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 right glass edge recedes while the dark lid and green lower plants remain. 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 thin pale jar wall and green or red plant fragments. 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.
