Ok, so after a few days and finally the time to recheck his steps, upon removing the spark plugs, he noticed that spark plug numbers 4 & 6 (based on the diagram above with the numbers) has cleaner (CRC throttle body & air intake cleaner) on it. So, obviously be drenched the throttle body while cleaning it and it got inside an area it's not supposed to be in. Spark plugs in cylinders #1, 3 and 5 are on the process of being checked right now.

Note- HE FORGET A FREAKING SPARK PLUG! #5 WTF?!������������ And you ALL said to retrace his steps!!

What happens with the cleaner being inside the cylinders though?!

Given the track record, I would have him test drive the car since he did the brakes. That's nothing to mess around with. I know he was trying to be helpful and save the cost by doing it himself but the old saying goes "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should".

A little bit of cleaner so it’s damp shouldn’t be an issue. If you have significant pooling then I’d try blowing it out with compressed air or pulling it out with a small hose.

Sounds like a plug was literally left out based on video and OP's post.
MAF cleaner won't last long with a little heat applied.

Hopefully all plugs are tight enough to go the distance. As for maf could, maybe it was left unplugged?
