[SOLVED] Part of my right Lily58 PCB has malfunctioning keystrokes
It has no-solder hotswap Kailh Low Profile Choc Switches. My two leftmost columns are having odd behaviour where sometimes there are no keystrokes, sometimes it repeats keystrokes, and sometimes it works fine, fluctuating between these three states very quickly. I've inspected the back for visual damage and there is none that I can spot. What would cause this to happen?

Extreme difficulty inserting Kailh Low Profile Choc Switches into plate and PCB.
Hello, I am having an extremely difficult time trying to insert the Kailh Low Profile Choc Switches into the plate and PCB. Coincidentally, this is the part of the build guide lacking a video.
The switches require an incredibly large amount of force to insert, and as I understand it the goal is to have them pushed in so that the white clips lock on the other side.
It took over an hour to get them inserted into one plate (recommended to do the plate then the PCB on the guide), after which I tried putting it into the PCB. I was not successful.
I tried Joe Scotto's video where he suggests only putting in a few to line up with the PCB, but getting the switches in with that becomes nigh impossible and all the other switches constantly get unseated when doing so.
I have tried a variety of techniques but for the life of me cannot figure out how to do this successfully. I am at a loss.
