Hello! I need some help with my first ever diy mechanical keyboard. I'm trying to build the (first half of a) Sofle Choc v2.1, but sadly I have 7 keys that are not working.

The keys marked with the tape are not working, the strange thing is that they are not on the same row/column (so the pins on the board sould be OK, is that the case?)
I tried changing switch, switch socket and even diode (for the first row/column key) but that didn't fix it.

Testing the continuity with the multimeter on the two sides of the switch socket will beep only when the key is pressed, so both the switch and the socket should be good.
Testing with the diode function on the multimeter shows .579 when connecting RED ->| BLACK, other way around it - correctly - doesn't show any value
Any guess how could I troubleshoot ? Sorry I'm quite noob at this :)
Thanks in advantage to any of you helping me
PS: Didn't install LEDs, to avoid other problems, will (maybe) install them later when everything else will be working :)
