So it's not a bug. It's a change.

The new cap for Gear Score is 500 with the Tidal Basin update. Generally speaking you will receive gear drops at slightly above, slightly below or equal to your current Gear Score, including outliers.
Imagine a bell curve with your current Gear Score as the peak of the bell.
As the OP's video talks about, being at a Gear Score doesn't mean that all gear will be at your Gear Score. It can go higher, equal, or lower. But at max Gear Score, gear cannot drop that is above max Gear Score. I hope this helps clear things up, but please let me know if there are additional questions.

Edit: With regards to going above 500 Gear Score, it is my understanding that that is through calibration methods and rules for gear drops should remain consistent.
