The videos were originally stored on giant reels of tapes that contained 15 minutes of video along with 13 other channels of live data from the moon. But in the 1970s and 1980s, Nasa wiped and reused some of the tapes due to a shortage

Why is this so hard to believe? They probably had hundreds of hours of taped footage from the moon, from multiple cameras. Alot of it was likely junk.
Also the flag had a wire mesh in its fabric, which means it would have oscillated given an external force (which could have been either a transient input due to it being opened/moved, or a persistent input due to some small force on it due to the lunar environment).
