I recently had an oil change done and the oil filter for the 2011 Kia Sedona was not properly installed as well as twisted and crushed, causing low oil pressure. A month to a month and a half later, my engine started making noise. I was wondering if it’s piston slap or something else. I have video/audio of the noise. It’s coming from the middle of the block towards the driver and passenger of the v6 engine. Right side of engine.
Unfortunately a rod knock would be the usual outcome in that case. It might help if you posted a link to the video.
Also, there was no metal at all in the old oil.
It might be in the old filter. Small chunks of gunk are what it's designed for, and you may feel a sense of a false positive. If you still have the old filter, check it.
From now on, do your own oil changes if you can. Apparently the Jiffy Lube type oil change places don't do a good job training their "technicians". Obviously, you would think to re-change the filter if it was crushed. They don't care. It's probably something they won't cover, because it took so long after the fact.
It was changed the very next day, once I saw low oil pressure light on dash to find out how they messed up the filter.
Unfortunately you have a 12 year old car so the chances of you getting any kind of compensation is unlikely. Get it diagnosed by a good mechanic and then decide whether it's worth fixing or time to move on. At that age Korean cars start falling apart any way.

Compare with this youtube video of a rod knock. Yours sounds similar but not as loud - yet. Final determination of course needs to be done hands-on by a mechanic.

It only does it once in a while at startup, or at idle at a drive thru, but driving it gets quiet. No loss of oil or excess burning of fuel.
Also, there was no metal at all in the old oil.
Well if you're lucky it might be a belt-driven accessory or pulley that just coincidentally started making noise. We can't tell that from here, it needs to be checked out by someone with physical access to the vehicle.
Uploaded better video and where sound seems to be coming from on engine block. No noise from belts or pulleys.

why is the hood closed? It sounds like something is rubbing. You should be looking for where the sound is coming from.
See video above
take the belt off. I wouldn't be surprised if the water pump was about to puke bearings everywhere
I hope you are aware of the 'mechanic's stethoscope', a lowprice tool that let you pinpoint to areas to be heard to.
There are more expensive 'microphone-speaker' electronic ones (as Scotty has in his famous shed), but these might be overkill for your situation.
What's the grey/corroded part in your superlong end-shot showing? An engine cover??
It’s a plastic engine cover. Originally black
That's odd that it comes and goes. Sounds more like one of the turpentine pulleys like the idlers ,alternator, compressor, water pump. A rod knock usually is very consistent. Any loss of power. After the filter fix does the oil light stay out?. I would monitor oil consumption. They might have put in the wrong oil along with the filter.
No power loss, and no misfires or codes. Oil is the correct one and no oil light since that day.
Removing your belt is the right approach here. If it stops making this noise, you'll know you're about to find the culprit and if it's still making the noise you've eliminated several components.
Btw, only suggesting this to help eliminate a few things..
