He is the one who shoots Din, followed by the raiders then coming in to do the dirty work on the ground. But perhaps if that isn’t clear enough to a first time viewer, I can add another scene of a close up on Boba firing the shot with a muzzle flash so we can actually see it happen. I was wanting to go for an element of surprise, but confusion should never be the end result.

I’m still leaning toward the removal of Boba from this scene, as I don’t understand why he is in it (maybe we can show him tracking Din in other ways?).

If he shoots Din, he should be fully ready to fight and retrieve his armor, but he just retreats. It felt like Boba gave up on retrieving his armor, because he was intimidated by Din’s ability to beat up some little raiders, but if he already shot one bullet to destroy Din’s vehicle, he likely would have kept shooting at Din while was on-foot to inch closer to his armor.

I’m not sure what the solution would be, but I was a bit confused as to why he retreated after successfully disarming Din.

¯_(ツ)_/¯ Just my two cents!
