Editing Hole references and types
In you video, you are trying to edit a hole that has not be located by "reference" dimensions. To do this, you have to select the References for two directions or one Reference to reference to a rounded feature such as a fillet. Take a look at the Screencast for the process of adding Reference dimensions to two edges.
About the counterbores not updating for a thread hole, this is not normal. Clearance dimensions only apply when you are trying to drop a screw in place. The type of hole says it all "Clearance" holes.

It was very hard to see in your MP4 video, but looking very close I see it and it is grayed out. Please attach the model so I, and others, can take a look at the actual file.

Open your file, go to File -> Export and place it on your local hard drive. Then look down below the Details box you type in your question you will find Attachment. Select that, then your local .f3d file and post.

In the file, left click on the center of the hole, blue dot, and the the Reference Dimensions light up. Left click right where my red arrow points to. Of course, have the component active.

The reason you have to select the blue dot is because you placed this hole by picking a specific surface. If you place a sketch point, dimension it, and then place holes on the sketch point(s), it will be a lot more intuitive. Maybe a few more clicks but....

The hole on the Front component Extents is set to "TO" where the one in the Right component Extents is set to "Distance". That is the difference. If you change the Front component to Distance.
By the way, you really should use Screencast to make any videos you post to the forum. They are clear and attach directly. You can download Autodesk Screencast, if you do not have it from here.
It should have been automatically installed with Fusion 360, check your program directory.

You screen capture did not attach. You can only attach certain type files. For screen capture, use a .JPG file. If the attach will not take, just zip up everything you wish to attach and attach that. This is the way you have to send an assembly file.
