In theory - and I stress theory! -you could disconnect the knock sensor on that bank and see if the retard goes away.
I would be too timid to do that. I would rather locate the source of the noise. Based on your video, it sounds too loud to be a lifter.One collapsed lifter makes a ticking noise.Your noise sounds 'bigger' like a heat shield/exhaust banging together. Hopefully not a bearing. But a noise generated outside the crankcase would not activate the knock sensor .
Before you start dismantling the engine, please understand this is not a simple task, nor inexpensive. Get skilled,knowledgeable help.The M96 is very unforgiving !
