Which program should I use to recover deleted video files from the hard drive?

SSD drive goodram cx400. There is probably no TRIM, because Recuva saw files from 2021 to recover.

But I'm interested in files from the last 2 months. The Chinese program had the option checked to delete after X months. It's hard to read, because the window didn't display the meaning of these options correctly.

The fact is that several videos of about 100, 300MB were recorded in June and disappeared from the My Documents folder due to this recording program for sure (no one had access to the laptop or the internet). Even after a deep scan, Recuva does not show that such files existed! But it does show the ones from 2021 and that they have been overwritten. So the ones from 2023 should be even easier to find. What's going on?!
It was installed on Windows 10.

Remo Software is some shitty joke. There is no free trial, and it doesn't find anything after scanning either.

Ontrack Easy Recovery Home for Windows - it doesn't find the 2023 videos.
Which program is worth trying? Because they all seem to look and work the same. It takes about 2 hours for one scan just to find out in the end that the program was worthless.

I removed the drive and it's now connected via a USB adapter. How should I scan it, because I'm losing faith in these damn programs? They are all the same, as if it's the same program just with different resellers. How can I recover these video files? Not much has been saved on it since that time. They should not be mostly overwritten. I just need something to detect those files from 2023. Please advise.
