The second aft module ... was not there during the first attempt.
The downcomer also appears to be moved
The downcomer's location is completely out of view. I don't think you can tell if anything happened to it.

The forward module of the third New Glenn booster just rolled back to the factory from the pad after preflight testing. It will now be joined with the tanks and aft section, forming a complete booster. This booster is currently expected to debut on NG-4.
Blue Origin is currently transporting a New Glenn booster aft section, presumably to the HIF at LC-36
NEW GLENN PART IN MOTION!Blue Origin is moving the engine skirt of the New Glenn's first stage, which is also where the landing legs are located. It's not known which booster this part will go to, nor when it will fly, but this Florida traffic is super cool!by @jaycastrophotos
Good eye! This is the aft module of our third New Glenn booster on its way to LC-36 for acceptance testing.
Blue Origin’s AST Bluebird 7 on New Glenn 3 is coming up! Parts are moving & teams practicing. Harvey Stone, the tug that tows Blue’s landing platform Jacklyn (LPV-1), was out with support vessel “Daughter Craft” this morning testing what appears to be a boarding platform. 🤙🏻🚀⛴️

In the video, you can see the light of a drone hovering. I hope they release the video; the Blue Origin public comms department has been slacking lately.
We hot fired New Glenn’s GS2 serial number five last night, with the BE-3U engines ramping up to 175K of thrust. Love seeing the continuous flow of GS2s on the Space Coast!
