Hey all, Longtime lurker, first time poster

Looking for a little help on a more complex modchip issue (probably noob issue but i do feel like its quite complex.)

I chipped my switch in September because i never used my switch and only had animal crossing for it, unfortunately, my install has been riddled with issues, (terrible bloody idea haha, first soldering project.)

My switch is on 20.3.1, and is patched to RCM. My SD card is 64GB, and brand new.

All i want to do is play games on my switch, and I've been trying to play an NCZ of fire emblem; three houses.

Initially my modchip was poorly installed, but i went in and reflowed it (discovered issue before even closing console) After resolving this, i went on to install the software side of things. i followed the switch. Hacks guide, and installed tinfoil, JKSV, FTPD, goldleaf, 90DNS, daybreak, atmosphere, nxshell, Hbmenu, nxthemeinstaller, and Sigpatches. (i have ensured every software is the newest available,) But tinfoil didn't work (didn't open, crashes atmosphere in applet, closes the HBmenu if ran with R+opening an app), so i reformatted and redid my install, but with DBI instead.

However, this too didn't work, so i reformatted, with it just failing to launch my app, after getting to the Nintendo validation screen (just before actual load screen) so, having failed that, i went on to try Sphaira, but this time I've had further issues, It just throws an error upon trying to install via MTP "module 2 (FS)" "0x1FB402" same error each time. but the sphaira Appstore does work. Inconsequentially to me, goldleaf also doesn't work either, and throws "the software was closed because an error occurred"

I have also tried to dump keys, but it fails to dump every key with lockpick_RCM, somehow works if you run SYSNAND and EMUMMC dump first, but i believe that invalidates the Dumped keys? not too sure.

Thank you all in advance for any help whatsoever!

Feel free to ask any questions, I will respond promptly.
