I think that fold-out design is risky. It should be more like a simple cylindrical shock absorber attached to the sides similar to New Shepard's landing legs.
Looks like they went with the cheapest solution for landing... maybe indicating it isn't a priority. Wonder what the next tests will do. Can't wait to see it reenter the atmosphere.

This is just temporary
