    i'm new to this , how do i add it ?

    or will it work if i convert to a 10A supply??

    1.) Try to make a additional GND connection from RPi→LED connector.

    If that not works you need a level shifter.

    That's for 4-wire-LEDs, so for WS2812 you need only one channel.

    The power supply is not the problem. A level shifter push the data signal to the correct level for the LEDs.
