Too much correcting on final approach. Should have been stabilized at that point, not yawing around.

You’re right. Just as with airliners the approach should be stable. The thing is, they’ve landed softly on water when a precise landing spot wasn’t targeted. My guess is the last second corrections are causing the remaining fuel to slosh and moving the center of gravity which could lead to something similar to pilot induced oscillations, but in this case with a flight computer instead of a pilot.
