The time it takes for light to make it from the bottom to the top of the vertical distance, from a stationary frame. Is it incorrect to assume it would remain the same for the moving frame?

The left hand side pertains to the stationary one, and the right to the moving one. The variable x represents the Lorentz factor(it should have been on the right). D1 is common between the two, and I simplified it to c*t.

If any clarifications are needed, I’m more than happy to make them! I understand my work isn’t the cleanest looking.

https://ibb.co/Wy9Pq8j I’ve gotten something that looks almost correct, but the expression in the root is 1 + v^2/c^2 instead of minus. I understand intuitively why my answer is wrong, but don’t know where mathematically. Could someone please help me see where I went wrong? Thank you!
