[Hyperbian + Pi4 + WS2812B + Noob] Led Strip Not Responding

Thank you in advance for anyone that helps.

I installed Hyperbian on a Raspberry Pi 4 and made the following connections:

Firestick -> Capture Card

Capture Card -> RPi 4 USB 2.0

RPi is getting power from the wall outlet.

I am using the following led strip:

LED Strip Wiring

+5v -> PSU

Din -> GPIO 18

Ground -> GPIO 6, GPIO 9, and to PSU Ground

The Problem:

I can log in to Hyperbian and see the live video from the Firestick but the LEDs are stuck on a rainbow color. Only a few LEDs light up at the beginning and middle of the strip but towards the end, all the LEDs are working fine.

The only thing I see in the log is:

2023-08-17T15:08:31.516Z [DAEMON] (ERROR) Lock/unlock handler- Session bus is not connected

Sorry about that. Please see the attached file below. Also wanted to add that I have the led strip receiving power and ground from only one side that has the arrows pointing away.

This recent debug is showing more information that might be helpful.
