Help diagnosing issue with Amana washer

About 1-2 months ago, our Amana washing machine stopped spinning/draining all of the water at the end of the cycle. I did some research and ended up buying a new actuator and it seemed to fix it - our washing machine seemed to be going through all of the cycles and it would spin/drain.

However, we recently noticed the clothes are not getting as clean as in the past. I'm thinking there's it's got an issue with agitating the clothes.

I went back under there this morning and noticed that I did not connect the plastic piece of the new actuator to the plastic piece of the shifter(?). I just hooked the plastic pieces up and I'm running another cycle.

I will be uploading a video of the sound it was making last night in case anyone has any advice for what needs to be replaced.

Really, any advice is welcome as I would prefer not to have to buy a whole new washing machine.
