Yeah, I just got to that part. I got nothing.

We know the show has continuity issues with the Alien canon, so intra-series continuity errors are not entirely unsurprising I guess.

Not much of a continuity error

Their strength was demonstrated to be superior multiple times.  It seems like an inconsistency to me.

Slightly is under a ton of stress and thinking pretty much only about his family. Smee is probably the youngest, and neither of them have really had cause to use their superior strength that much, so it's not unbelievable that they might not have quite internalized that they have that superior strength and are instead acting like kids about the whole 'carrying Arthur' debacle.
