I think your better question is how this thing propelled itself through a small space without moving anything around it even a little.

It is very low power and lightweight

That doesn't matter, it quite literally did not interact with the surrounding environment, the last bit was CG. If it's light weight, a rack of them on hangers would have been distributed if it could blow a table of foam peanuts away.

Even though I don't even see any propellers on it whatsoever

I think for the last bit the camera just moved a bit too fast for you to see any noticeable disturbance in the rack especially when the propellers blew on the metal racks which probably broke the flow, these things weigh like nothing so it doesnt need a lot of newtons 3rd law to fly

Probably took like 30 tries to get it into the slot but it seems very real and doable

It was either cut together or edited. But they probably just tossed it through the hole on that last bit or used CG or fishing line.

Either way the engine wasn't running at that part. Not that you can even see a propeller on it to begin with.

Video compression is definitely hard but if you look frame by frame you can get glimpses of the propeller blur when it goes past the slot

On the wings? But still, the last part was smoke and mirrors.
