I am not sure what’s going on but I just completed a kite circuit sword lite build. Everything is fine except there are weird blue shadows all over the screen. Any ideas?

Make sure the ribbon is connected properly?

+1 on this, if you cant fix it email kite or post in the kite forums.

Check your soldering, it'll be one of the pins

Soldering on the pi itself?.....I checked all the pins and they look good :/
I touched up some of the soldering and reseated the ribbon cable multiple times. Still the same problem

Ok there is def one pin of blue not soldered, you can see it by the blue bar having 'blocks' on it.
This picture is of the bottom of the board, rework these (the ones highlighted in brighter green, there are 5x of them). Do the same for the other side of the Pi, but remember that the image will need to be flipped
