Psyche captured this sequence a few hours later during closest approach when Psyche was about 5000 km above Mars. The sequence starts over Isisdis Planitia, moves across Syrtis Major (a bit south of where Perseverance is) and ends over Huygens crater.

Sound Up! 🔊 This is real audio of the separation bolts firing when Orion separated from the European Service Module #Artemis Even though there is no air in space to transmit the sound like on Earth, the sound travelled to the microphone through the mechanical structure of the solar panels.
