Thanks for posting an updated video.
Looking at the floor in the video it looks like you have cut around the wheel arches in the load bed making the bottom of the camper into a sort of thick H shape rather than a T shape of a normal truck camper floor. I assume that would mean when you want to remove the camper from the truck you'll have to jack it all the way up so it is clear of the wheel arches rather than just an inch or so clear of the load bed floor which you would usually do on a truck camper.
I'm pretty sure this is something you have already considered and designed carefully, so I am interested in what your plans are.

Yes. You are correct. I have always noticed that there is unused space in most commercial truck campers. Not surprising, considering the makers have to make campers that fit all types of beds and they have chosen to make real "slide in" shapes. I want to use all space available, so my floor is odd shaped and will have to be slid in above the wheel wells. A small price to pay for valuable space, IMO. It will be custom fit to the 2012 Silverado and probably won't fit many other truck beds.
