Six of the thirteen moves start on the car rather than on a person, and three of those surfaces are swipes or clicks, so the clip shows where the props are hiding.

What makes Level 42 tricky.

This level happens inside a car, and the car is the inventory. The drink starts between the two people at step 1, the chips sit on the windshield wiper at 2, the microphone comes out of the back seat at 5, the flowers are on the roof at 9, the sun visor above the brown-haired boy's head has to be slid down at 12, and the blue button on the right window is a click at 8. Six of the thirteen moves begin on the car rather than on a person, and most of those surfaces look like trim until you try them.

Two people share the frame and they are not interchangeable. The black-haired boy is the one being fixed up: the drink, the chips, the headphones, the foam roller and the dropped spray all end on him. The brown-haired boy gets the joke book out of the backpack at 4 and the microphone at 5, which is entertainment rather than relief, and at 7 his headphones are taken off him and handed to the other one. Dragging the joke book to the tired boy is the natural mistake, because it is the first item out of the backpack and the backpack belongs to neither of them in particular.

The gestures alternate more than the cards suggest. Step 6 swipes up the hood, step 8 clicks a window button, step 10 swipes down the Samoyed, step 12 slides down the visor: four moves in seven that are not plain drags, each on a different surface. The dog is worth flagging twice, since the swipe at 10 moves it and the foam roller at 11 is behind it, so the thing you need next is what the dog was covering. The level ends on the spray the cards call dropped, one move after the visor comes down, and it is the smallest object the black-haired boy receives.

Car parts that answer a gesture.

Six moves start on the car itself, and three of them are not drags:

The car is not scenery here: when a handover has no obvious source, try the nearest panel, wiper or visor.

Why does nothing happen when I tap in Level 42?

Most cards are drags, but the hood swipes up at step 6, the window button is a click at step 8, the Samoyed swipes down at step 10 and the sun visor slides at step 12.

Is this Level 42 walkthrough up to date?

The steps match the current build and the car props were checked against the embedded clip, so a page that puts the chips inside the car instead of on the wiper is describing a different layout.
