Jiren has no reason to assume Vegeta's SSB is weaker than Goku's. He wouldn't be sweating in the preview at all if that was the case. Different animators do different things. This animator in particular focuses really heavily on detail. Even so, we don’t know if the shot of Jiren sweating was because of Vegeta. The previews often play tricks by putting different shots back to back to make things seem like they are happening that way. In the preview, Goku and Vegeta were fighting Jiren, most likely, the reason Jiren was sweating wasn’t because of Vegeta, but because he is fighting two Super Saiyan Blue’s at the same time.

UI is a new transformation, this was confirmed on a scan that had a picture of UI Goku with text talking about “a new transformation”. Transformations in DragonBall are always an increase in power, UI would be no different. Again, SSBKK x20’s attacks were hitting Jiren, but did no visible damage, but when Goku went UI, his attacks not only did visible damage, but also made him Jiren flinch, plus they said “looks like Goku’s attacks are actually working now”. This would mean UI is stronger than SSB. No, the preview obviously shows that the screenshots of Jiren sweating are from when he's clearly trading blows with Vegeta, as seen by his gloves being there. We only saw his gloves IIRC in there. No arm bands or skin.

UI wasn't stated to be that form, or that Goku would only get access to UI. UI is known by angels, and when Beerus used it in the manga, we saw no such change in appearance. Goku has something different. They only said they appear to be working, because he grazed Jiren, but Jiren showed no visible sign that it really worked much at all, nor did he show anything beyond the same type of reaction to Vegeta's kick to him.

This would mean UI is not his new form, but a small part to it, and that he gets some kind of power boost from a new form. Whis has stated that UI is simply mastery of self movement. It's in the name. Ultra Instinct. Ultra reaction ability.

For the preview, it's clearly not Goku's hands in the shot. https://youtu.be/KT3Txer05RA?t=15

Thus, Goku is not shown giving the blows that Jiren is sweating from.
