That went by too fast to be sure, but I think Hilaria Baldwin is one of Jupiter’s moons.

This looks wrong to me. Aren’t the Galilean moons supposed to be, more or less, in the same plane as the equator of Jupiter?

You are correct. Some artistic license methinks. Plus the scaling is off.
The gap between the Galilean moons and the captured asteroids is because items in that region have long ago crashed into Jupiter or the galilean moons themselves, or been whipped away via gravity slingshot.
