While I can't say for sure, I think you nailed it as having been added as a way to keep the cartridge from accidentally being popped out. As mentioned in that video, this is one of the R/C modified traps and the electronics go from the cartridge to the trap body (for the power switch and the Linrose light).
As for how it folds out of the way to empty the trap, I would say the answer to that is "it doesn't," because this part is a practical modification used for it being a filming prop (to prevent the cartridge from ever coming out and damaging the wiring), not something that would have had a purpose in-universe.
