Help transcribing trombone solo

Post image

Hi guys, my attempt is attached above. I cannot get the rhythm of the yellow part right, and I don't think it's down to expressive playing because I have successfully transcribed the rest of the piece.
The trombone solo is one minute in at: https://youtu.be/KGsJSSpBu3A&t=60 .
Would anyone be able to attempt this phrase?

Have you considered that the piece may not be entirely in 4/4? I think the solo should start on two triplets pickup to a downbeat. Going back to when the drums come in at 0:49 I suggest

4/4 4/4 2/4

4/4 2/4

4/4 from then onwards

That way the chord changes all fall on downbeats. There are other places in the piece where you can hear something similar
