Is the recording an mp4 file or something else on Radeon?
I have not used Windows Auto HDR so unsure as to how it is outputting the image, is it some internal luminance boosting or is it actually generating a 10-bit output becuas ethat's what proper HDR is doing and recorded videos should be 10-bit colour depth which contains the extra data for the HDR range, as well as associated metadata to tell whatever playe ris used to watch the video that this is HDR and to use the extra data to output as HDR.
It could be that Auto HDR doesn't do this and as such is for display in person only and not recording as it's not passing through the metadata and/or 10-bit colour.
You'll know if it's one or the other if you play back locally the recorded video in something like MPC-HC/MPC-BE with the MPC Video Renderer enabled as that auto triggers Windows HDR mode when playing HDR videos, and viewing the codec properties of the video you will see that it has 10-bit colour.
YouTube can sometimes take days to process the HDR version of an upload too assuming all the specs are met (10-bit and metadata). If you transcode using Handbrake, then you also have to select the encoder that supports 10-bit as shown in the dropdown, and make sure passthrough for metadata checkbox is checked.
None of your videos above show the HDR option on youtube, I uploaded 2 videos in the last 24 hours for example and only one of them:
Shows HDR as one of the quality options, the other may well be ready tomorrow even though 4k60fps is available for both. It may even take days to be ready such is the lottery of youtube processing queues for HDR. Thankfully uploaded HDR videos are internally tonemapped by youtube to SDR so whilst the HDR processes, the tonemapped SDR version should be still excellent, just in SDR. The tonemapping will only be done correctly if the uploaded file meets all the specs of a source HDR video as well, otherwise you are just gonna get a dulled video like you see in the local file playback.
