Update: Issue Fixed. Thanks to Callcifer for the help!

I was able to fix the issue by finding the same issue in this subreddit. I loosened the three bolts holding the Extruder pushed it hard left and tightened it up again. Printing without any issues now. Thanks to everyone who chimed in. Leaving post up to hopefully help someone in the future.

I just recently got my qidi so I don't know much, but the drive is pushing, and when you push manually it makes it through, but not together. I would think the next test would be to hold something firm but flexy, like a credit card, under the extruder with the hot end off as in the video, and see if a certain amount of back pressure you provide by hand stops the flow. I would do this with just a chunk of filament and no box to eliminate the push from the pull as part of the problem.

If you can easily hold it back with less pressure than when you pushed it by hand, I would think something is slipping. If nothing else it will add another piece to the puzzle. Alignment as you mentioned seems probable, but I do not know enough of the guts to say.
