I just changed the tubes and tires on some rims I bought. I noticed the tire seems to buldge out more at the point where the value is. Did I seat it incorrectly or is there something else going on?

Looks like the rim is out of round.
Looks like an issue with the bead of the tire at one point, but it’s difficult to tell without stopping for a point of reference.
The bead should have an exposed mold line that will be parallel to the edge for the rim. If the mold line disappears into the rim at any point, it’s not fully seated. Take a close look at the tire for that mold line.
Wheel is out of round
deflate…..get a rag with soapy water (5-10 drops, mix) on it from a cup or something, get both sides of the rim that touch the tire bead wet and soapy. Re inflate until you hear 2 loud pops. Use soapy water every time you mount.
I have this same effect with my tire only and not the rim should I deflate and verify if it’s seated within the rim correctly and then try reinflating?
For those saying the wheel isn’t true that’s not the case; it just looks off because I moved the plane of rotation on accident while taking the video
Nope deflate tire massage tire and tube slowly inflate up 20 to 30 repeat then bring psi up
