When in doubt, compact it out!

What happens here

The video opens with a person kneeling on what appears to be a prepared base, carefully placing dark grey rectangular border pavers along the edge of existing larger light-colored patio pavers. They use a black rubber mallet to gently tap each border paver into place, ensuring it is level and snug against its neighbors and the adjacent patio pavers. This action is part of the final layout before mechanical compaction.

Goal: To install the perimeter border pavers, defining the edge of the paver area.
