[HELP] Stuck on Discipline V2 build, key tests are failing

Hey everyone! I am currently very stuck in my Discipline V2 build, after soldering all my electronic components at the top of board I got very excited as the power led went off when I plugged in the USB, unfortunately when I test each key the keyboard disconnects then reconnects? This happens with every key. I’ve attached a video of the issue above. I’m also attaching an imgur album of my soldering behind - feel free to roast me over my soldering work, this is my first build and I was just excited to solder away haha https://imgur.com/gallery/p1cKJ3m

I have tried re-flashing the VIA firmware using QMK toolbox but whenever I do the boot +reset sequence to get the keyboard recognized the keyboard disconnects and reconnects - it doesn't show up on QMK toolbox

I'm not going to say your soldering looks great (the third and fourth sets of diodes in the first pic look dodgy, not going to affect this) but I've certainly seen worse and crucially I'm only seeing one possible short and that's probably not - the bottom left two pins of the USB port.

Lets start from the beginning - what does the keyboard show up as when you plug it in?  From reading around sometimes you have to flash a bootloader so have you done that (or did wherever you got it from say you didn't need to)?
