modular load balancer not load balancing
First time using a modular load balancer, love the concept but it's not working as I thought. Can anyone help?
I have 5 inputs going to 2 outputs. So I have 2 "modular load balancers" that take input and also serve as output, 3 "input only" for the other inputs, and padding of either "block module" or "load balancer box" (are these the same?)
What's happening is that the 2 inputs go to the 2 outputs .... and the 3 other inputs just wedge and sit there: there's no "pooling" or balancing of them. What am I dong wrong?
here's a screenshot taken using overhead view from the "top down view" mod - the inputs are coming in on the right, the outputs are on the left.

just a follow-up and a quick Q in case anyone else ever has this issue - it was indeed the case that things were disconnected, according to the DigbyTool. Hooked things up with that and all worked.

If this isn't the mod you were looking for, try a different spelling.
it may help you diagnose the problem
It can also be that the balancers are not snapped properly and are not recognised as one group. Try attaching another loadbalancer (output, spacer, whatever...). when aiming at the existing ones in build mode, all that are in the same group should be highlighted. If they do all light up then the above mentioned tool should be of more help.
Yeah, sounds like they aren't all part of the same group
@Miirym @SirDigby {Mod Name} thanks for the tips - I couldn't figure out whether or not things were actually connected. I'll try re-connecting and/or switching to "Digby tool". BTW @SirDigby {Mod Name} thanks for all your great work on mods!

My question is - how could I tell which things were/weren't 'snapping' as I built them? Checkout the 10ish blocks below, they all look connected to me but the Digby tool told me they were something like 5 different little blocks:
The modules you are connecting to will turn white
