Default Bad Strut Mount?

Over the past week, there's been a weird squeeking/clunking coming from the front passenger side. It coincides with going over bumps, so I figured it was an issue with the suspension. I popped the hood to see if I could see anything. The top of the passenger side strut seemed to be sitting a little higher than the driver's side. I started bouncing the car and this is what I saw/heard: https://photos.app.goo.gl/DACddhgfiMmeQkCs7

I'm thinking it's the strut mount. Can anyone confirm. I'll probably redo the whole thing, but due to COVID issues, I'm totally fine with putting a short term band-aid on the problem.

And, if it matters, it's a 2006 S60 T5 with right at 60,000 miles. Thanks!

Yeah its shot. Looks like someone replaced the upper bearing. I wonder why they didn't replace the mount. The bearing very rarely fails while the mounts fail all the time.
