Technically contained vs uncontained for certification is only concerned with rotor parts inside the engine. So while the severe vibration causes nacelle parts to fail they are not proof of an uncontained failure.

The fan parts are allowed to impact up to +/- 15 degrees forward / aft radially but must not exit the fan other than out the back after they’ve been stopped so to speak.
