1. Why Am I doing this Video
It is Visualizer, never meant to be real images of Vikram Landing!!
I watched the livestream replay and the commentators made it clear these were computer generator images to help mission control guide the landing. They were never advertised as real images. Flerfs just took the images and ran with it never watching the livestream. Think about it, they would need a second probe to film the landing or people set up on the moons south pole to film it. There were cameras but they only filmed the moons surface... There are no selfie sticks for lunar landers...lol.

2. Overview of the Historic Event
After a 40-day journey, the Indian Space Research Organisation's Chandrayaan-3 made a successful touchdown with its lander Vikram near the moon's south pole, marking the country's second attempt to reach uncharted lunar territory. The lander was named after Vikram Sarabhai, father of the Indian space programmer.
This makes India the 4th country to successfully take a domestic space craft and land it softly on the surface of the moon. This was a repeat of the attempt that was going to happen with Chandrayaan 2 and it was nice to see this excitement in mission control with everyone applauding.
Since the landing we have seen a few images like these, and we have heard the rover has made it successfully to the surface. I presume in the next few days we will likely see a lot more data and we'll really pin down actually where it landed.
The amateur space craft watchers have a pretty good idea of where Chandrayaan 3's lander actually is, and we'll get this confirmed. The lunar reconnaissance orbiter will be flying over that site in a few days as well, so we might soon see some images from orbit.

4. A closer Look at Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Mission Control Screens
I watched the livestream replay and the commentators made it clear these were computer generator images to help mission control guide and visualize the landing. They were never advertised as real images. Flerfs just took the images and ran with it never watching the livestream. Think about it, they would need a second probe to film the landing. There were cameras but they only filmed the moons surface... There are no selfie sticks for lunar landers...lol.
Here is one more from mission control. On the left is the ACTUAL camera filming the moons surface. THOSE were the ONLY images that were reported to be real.
5. Actual Footage from the Actual Cameras
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) late on Sunday completed its first Moon- bound manoeuvre, a day after Chandrayaan-3 was guided into an elliptical lunar orbit.
The spacecraft's altitude at Apolune (farthest point from Moon) was reduced from 18,074km to 4,313km.
ISRO released the first images of the Moon which were captured by India's third unmanned Moon mission, Chandrayaan-3.

6. Polish Astronomer Verifies Orbit
A group of private astronomers using the Polish ROTUZ (Panoptes-4) telescope spotted the spacecraft cruising through space. Sybilla Technologies, the company operating the telescope, shared a video capturing Chandrayaan-3 as a small dot amidst the vastness of space and stars on Tuesday.
Scott Tilley, a member of the observation team, provided a trajectory update on Wednesday, mentioning that the spacecraft passed through its first apogee of the new orbit, spending many hours in deep space, drifting through his field of view.
