Can you post pictures of the pcb/solder job?  Interesting that they're all close together.

I fixed most of them. just B is broken now. the PCB is messed up. I am trying to figure out how the wiring should be.

Can you post more details for the benefit of other people who might have a similar problem someday?

I couldn't completely figure out the problem.

Basically all the keys mentioned are connected, I just had to make sure the circuit was closed.Either the PCB was defective or I did something wrong somewhere but the contacts between the 2 sides of the pcb wasn't working because of a bad line on the space switch.
