He clearly put it down. It's the same as if he made a catch on the boundary but then had to step over the boundary to keep his balance. It doesn't matter if he's in control of the ball, you can't put it on the ground for balance.

Nope, he timed his slide in the right direction and had full control of the ball well before the it touched the ground.

He had full control of the ball, yes, and he used it to balance himself so he hadn't completed the catch.
