What is this rhythm I am playing in the chords? Is it some sort of triplet rhythm?

Is the rhythm of the chords in the right hand of the piano some sort of triplet rhythm? I tried to figure out the rhythm and, usually I can figure out the rhythm of my improvisation, but this is a place where I ran into rhythmic confusion, because I seem to be fitting a 5/4 rhythm into a 4/4 bar, without any polymeter. So, what is the rhythm of the second beat here?

This is what you played in the video. Works fine in 4/4. Maybe you're extending the dotted rhythm past its confinement to a beat mentally.

 

Hmm, yeah, maybe that's why I felt like the rhythm was in 5/4, yet somehow, seamlessly fitting into 4/4.

In retrospect, listening to this rhythm that you said I was playing in the video, and listening to the video itself, besides the difference between Musescore soundfont and actual piano sound, it sounds identical to the chords in the video.
