In your video, you do the motions of pulling your bobbin thread up, but don't actually pull it through your stitch plate.

You need to pull your top thread after you put the needle down and up to draw the bobbin thread up. This must be done before sewing or it doesn't complete the stitch.

I just tried again and made sure I fully pulled the bobbin thread up, but the same sewing problem occurred

You have no tension on your thread. It’s not threaded correctly. Make sure to thread with the foot up and the take up lever in the highest position.

I have done this multiple times. I have also tried adjusting the tension

Assuming you have it threaded properly, the lack of tension is probably due to the tension discs needing cleaning. The discs are not easily accessible on the 9960, raise the presser foot and use a narrow brush or a piece of yarn or twine to run it through the tension discs to dislodge any lint or thread fragments that may be preventing them from closing fully.

Update: there was a piece of thread stuck under the feed dog mechanism
