Wouldn't the diameter of the small section be the same as the outlet on the running gully? If so, whilst it would fit in the elbow. it won't attach to the outlet.
Personally, would just use a small screw to secure the fitting.

I have watched it several times, and I see the same thing each time, it looks as if the installer has somehow managed to put a male to male 45 in there.
I have never seen a running gully that does not have a male part which is not set to the internal diameter of a downpipe.
With respect, I think you are incorrect. Sorry mate.
Maybe, I can only report what I see. Perhaps the OP, who seems to have posted and run, could clear up the mystery?

No, but the male part appears to move with the 45 section.
I think that is an optical illusion.
Possibly, but I am also seeing what looks like the lip of the make end, in the view look down in the gulley too.
Te top of the 45 elbow is designed to take a downpipe inside it and the end of the running outlet is designed to fit inside a downpipe. That is why it is loose and all the OP has to do to fix it is add a short section of downpipe - as per my photo/ screenshot
Yeah, I can see that too, but if a fitting goes from the external diameter to the male internal, I would not be surprised to be able to see the transition from above.
Again, I have never seen a running gully that will accept a full width downpipe.
I would expect a smooth transition there, rather than an edge, to avoid it catching debris.
Agreed, but I have just looked a multiple images of running gullies. None are female and will accept a male pipe inside the female part.
Which is as I would expect, but the male part might have been cut off (who'er), then the two joined with a bit of loose pipe - was my concern.
No.
The running outlet spigot is male and is designed to fit INSIDE a DP. The offset bend female is designed to accept a DP.
Ahh, so all the OP needs to do is cut a tiny bit of downpipe to sit in the running outlet.
