>due to the AMP carousel at the top, but that’s it Are you for real? Read your sentence aloud to yourself and realize how ridiculous it sounds. You're basically saying: "They're just at the top of the page because they're in a specific AMP section of the page at the top of the page, but that's it. They don't get bonus points in the search ranking, which affects how high up you are in the search results, which is not on top of the page"

English isn’t my first language. I didn’t mean to trivialize the carousel by saying “that’s it.” My intention was to clarify that the carousel is the only form of preferential treatment on Search. A big one, yes, but the only one.
