Is This Movement Too Much? (video)

I have been chasing a vibration in the front and found this movement in the right (passenger) side CV axle where it enters into the diff housing. The axle is staying in the diff just fine, so I don't think it has anything to do with the inner clip, but I obviously don't really know. No gear oil is leaking out. In comparison, the left side is solid and tight. Is this right side too sloppy? Or is this the normal amount of movement? Please excuse the radio going on in the background

Looks within threshold to me. While you’re in the process of troubleshooting, check the backlash of your CV axle splines to the CV flange. Overtime that wears out and creates a backlash that gets magnified when you operate the vehicle.

as long as it's not leaking gear oil from the seal, that is a normal amount IMO

Are your CV shafts Toyota or some cheap rebuilds? Bad inboard CV could cause some mild vibration but I have not seen that on any Toyota axle.

Both CV axles are from Mr. T. 30k miles on them. I am just surprised how much different the right is compared to the left.
