I agree, although an additional factor is that the drift angle was 12˚L due to the wind from the rear right, so any light would have been offset to the left and not dead ahead. Ultimately, a contributory factor at best. CRM doesn't seem to be a major focus of the report especially around the approach briefing—unusual.
