No that's quite good: your embouchure is set and there is no motion in it when articulating in this register. If you were to do another video, tonguing in the clarion should be involved.
Immediately after each breath, however, your embouchure sets a split second after you've started the note. This is perceptible because it is heard clearly in the sound.
I still hear you being an anchor tonguer. Even if I'm wrong, however, you have yet to develop a consistent tonguing motion that is universally the same. The variation in the sound of the articulation (sometimes soft, sometimes firmer, sometimes clear, sometimes "fuzzy" or un-defined) makes this necessity apparent.
In general: you'd like the same part of your tongue to touch the same part of the reed 999 out of 1000 times. In the beginning this is a good rule to follow that you may later find does not need be universally applied.
In general: you should tongue with the tip of your tongue. Again, this is a good place to start that you may later change.
Until your tonguing motion is simple, efficient, economical, and gentle -- you'll have difficulty articulating clearly and quickly in the second register.

PS -- within the school of thought to which I subscribe, I would also suggest that you need to voice the notes: the back of the tongue should be high, as it is when you say "eeeeeeeee".
