Josh noting the teams are looking at the clock for a daylight pass opportunity to grapple.

That's the reason it might be a while -- more than half way through this day pass and may not be enough time to close to 10 meters and do the capture before either the lighting gets bad or goes away at night.

And then on top of that, the ground is working on configuring Dragon's LIDAR to close from 30 meters to 10 meters, which might take up another chunk of the rest of this day pass.

Grappling should go as rehearsed.  Dragon is not moving in that frame, very steady.
