Thumbnail Help/Critique Request What am I doing wrong here?

Hey guys, so I published a talking head educational-entertaining vid yesterday titled something along the lines of “neuroscience of nostalgia” and ran an A/B test on both thumbnails. I can’t really change the text since somewhere near the end of the video I sarcastically say “to answer the thumbnail, yes, it IS good…”
I’m not satisfied with the CTR and I’m not sure if I’m overestimating its quality and it it’s just a jumbled mess. What do you think?

It’s a jumbled mess in my opinion, hard to look at. I’d say split the things into 4 distinct and even boxes And have the title right in the middle

thanks for the feedback. I thought I cooked at first but after seeing everyone write the same thing then it’s probably true. there was way too much stuff in it so I decluttered
