I wondered about that too because in both clips he only did a triple and like you said the short entry and it also appears to be placed in a later part of the program (if the sun valley clip is indicative of his actual layout he's doing the 3A first). But it doesn't really make sense for him to do a 3L either way as he has other hard jumps in his arsenal even if he doesn't want to do the 4L and I'm thinking he could really be planning a very ambitious layout by backloading the quads. I also wonder if he's opting to do 4F-3T instead of 4L-3T because he wants to incorporate a more difficult entry and exit on the solo 4L to max out the GOEs. It's possible that the lutz jump comes more easily for him than the flip and hence easier for him to add transitions to the lutz rather than the flip.
But since nothing else was mentioned I would assume the run thru was clean. Japanese cameras were also there filming and focused on Nathan. He and Timothy had a near miss.
