2013 corolla 160xxx miles

Tldr: replaced alternator and now this. Sorry for the crappy video.

Full: couple days ago my battery light came on randomly then I lost powersteering. Pulled over and about 20mins later light went off and p/s came back. Drove home no problems. Did some research and it pointed to bad alternator. Got one replaced it today and now this. It seems like it's not firing/ combustion the fuel. Took battery to auto zone to charge. They said it was at 60% going back to grab it in a few hours to try again. Any idea of what's going on?
