In frame S not only is the distance between B and the mirror contracted, but also the beam splitter (B) and mirrors are all moving. So the light that goes "up" to the top mirror actually does a triangular path in that frame (IE has to go further) and the light going to the other mirror first has to catch up to it (the mirror is "running away"). | |
