The safety concern is that you essentially just added another potential chimney. One that is not designed for that purpose.
Your prior running vid certainly looks reasonable. If you can reduce primary air more, I would try it until you find your sweet spot adjustment wise. Enjoy the learning curve.

That looks pretty good, not sure of the exact number but your stove efficency is in the 70%'s which means out of 100% heat produced 70% goes into the stove room vs 20%'s up the chimney

Much better. The stovetop will normally run from 500-650º. Try to keep it under 700º max.
 
Why just 700?, is 800 to hot?
Yes, 800º is pushing things and most likely taking parts of the stove to >900º. That will shorten the life of components.

Okay, so is 750 good then, this is the temperature of the stove top right now 656 and this is how the secondaries are active right now

Should be cranking out good heat, from the look of that video.
the stove doesn’t like fans or the blower for the stove
So you have the OEM blower that's made for the stove, and you have been using it all along? If so, that should be heating a lot of air, plus it will cool off the stovetop if it's getting hotter than you'd like to see it.
