I get the impression it was coming in way too fast.
Think even if they had it perfectly vertical at touchdown, it would have been too fast to avoid damage.

It does look that way, but vertical velocity seems to be nearly zero when it gets to the deck, however it wasn’t vertical and there was some horizontal velocity causing it to topple over.
