It's definitely a camera angle thing. The lens is so long it throws you off but when you consider the extremity of both angles, combined with the fact that everyone was socially distancing, and also sometimes people have bigger heads, I think the length of the lens is throwing off your sense of perspective. All of the background people in the front-on shot are off camera in the side shot and visa versa. Besides, think about it logically. If they went through all the trouble to pre-record this (hint: they didn't) why wouldn't they record both angles in one go?

Look at 8:39, camera pulls back to a wide shot, you don't see anyone from version 1.
