I’m unsure what you mean by “screwed up the landing”, both stages exploded in flight. Scott Manleys analysis and reasoning seems sound: that the error was likely due to hot staging burn causing damage or being mistimed causing propellant sloshing. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hF2C7xE9Mj4 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hF2C7xE9Mj4 Lots of data from this launch. Definitely a successful test. Falcon failed 3 times. Looking forward to seeing if starship beats or matches or if bigger means more.
