Can I suggest you at least do the CO correctly instead of swapping layers at the end?
A simple 2 look solution for the EP you got: solve the O with an O/op, that will leave you with a Uperm to solve.

Edit: as 1973486 pointed out, I did an extra slash at the end of the scramble. So I've added a slash to the start of my solution, to make it work...
