Technically, there is a hint for that level within the images for the game, which tells you where to place the rift / move around in it.
The grab mechanic will grab onto the nearest box, and move you with it. So, if a past recording is moving a box, you can grab it and move along with them. My fault for not having a good explanation for how this works, most of my detailed descriptions are on the Itch page itself.
What do you mean by the recording stops working?
This is why I included a skip level, since I know not all of them are fair difficulty wise. Hopefully this information helps!
