I was in the same position.
It's hard to figure out if I'm stuck because I need to explore more, or if the game has decided to softlock once again.

I've had so many issues with glitches ruining my experience of this game I decided to start recording them.

I found out how to get that cage but I think both methods are unintended.

First involves warp cancelling which I assume is a glitch as I don't recall it being explained.
I found another path by accident shortly after - you hold left after the waterfall and for some reason you don't die and the current isn't strong enough to pull you back.

So...I think it's fairly obvious none of those are the intended path. That being said, I think your first method, is a short cut to the actual intended route.

You can see if you look at the map, that bridge connects to a lower portion. I'm fairly positive the route is to take that lower portion, down and around, and then to climb back up and follow the path shown in your video.

I know for certain that a story item is located near that area, and can't be access with the goo, so I think the safe bet would be to just keep playing and wait it out. Other than that, I can almost guarantee the path is around that south western edge, I just don't know how you get there. I think its totally possible a dungeon exit will take you there.
