Because movement is a privilege of having LGP...which requires having already been in the path.

Not unless they already established LGP...which I don't think this player did.

More than getting his shoulder to the middle of the oppoenents torso while still moving in.

It is not about being on the side vs. front, it is about having the torso IN the path of the other player's torso....their (and many others') definition of the width of a player's "path" is obviously narrower than yours.
I don't see that this defender was ever in the path.
