Thanks buddy!
I'll leave it at that for now.
The bar is a little bit uneven but better than just half being lit. I sealed it off with gorilla clear adhesive so I don't want to take it apart again.
If it breaks again I will just get a unit from the scrap yard.
The time it took to fix it wasn't worth it but I just wanted to troubleshoot and learn lol
Hopefully this will help someone who doesn't live close to a scrap yard.
