I think it's a supposition that the reason they didn't catch the booster was that it couldn't get back to the chopsticks. I don't think SpaceX described the issues as that ... it would seem sort of strange if it was because the seemingly planned a catch for it so you'd think they would have a good handle on the fuel required. It's possible they didn't fully understand that requirement though.
