Reducing hitboxes might solve the issue with the wider path from your first video, but the narrow one would remain. It's like chasing the issue. I think hitbox shape might be more determinant: in tight spaces, vertices complicate rotating and straight sides give too much front for static equilibrium. Maybe elliptical shapes with increased on-center repulsion range to avoid compact tiling might be worth a try (since that seems to be the only problem about them, for now).

What color do you imagine it to be? I can imagine the Celtic's color, I don't know why, apart from the obvious.  The Greek letter in one color(yellow or Orange)  and the rest in other colors including green.
