What triplets are that?

Hi, I am currently focussing on including more triplets in my playing. It would be very cool, if you could help me out with identifying the following ornamentations
Right now, I am learning the Salamanca reel. My goal is to play it a bit like this (okay, as close as I might be able to ):

In the Salamanca you have this typical phrase of F#-D-E-C#
In the playing of Donnacha Dwyer, there is sometimes a triplet during the first half of this phrase, sometimes during the second part.
I guess, during the first part of this phrase he plays a F#-E-D triplet. When he plays a triplet during the second half of this phrase, it is a E-D-C# triplet?
The phrase F#-D-E-C# can be found in so many reels. But I don't get it, what kind of triplet is often used by pipers to substitute the E-C# part...when I try to play a E-D-C# triplet it just doesn't match what I hear in the recordings. But yeah, I could also be my sloppy technique
Another tune I am currently trying to play with more triplets is Humours of Ballyloughlin. Richard Patkos is playing it in a very cool and inspiring way in the following clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkjesIY_CjM
During the second part of this tune, there is a phrase that is often written down as D-E-D D-E-D (the third bar of the second part of the tune). Richard Patkos is playing some sort of staccato triplet in this phrase. You can hear it around 0:25 of the clip.
What kind of ornamentation is that? Is it a back d followed by a G-F#-E Triplet? And the same figure is played twice?
It sounds phenomenally in this clip!
Thanks for your help and stay healthy
