nitro2k01 is correct.

The R2 is the correct value,

R2 in the schematic = 1K.
R2 on your board has resistor code brown, black, orange = 10 x 10^3 = 10 * 1000 = 10K

as for R1, it is a 15K, since I don’t have a 12K

R1 on your board has resistor code brown, green, yellow = 15 x 10^4 = 15 * 10000 = 150K

R5 is an 82k with a 100K soldered on top to make ~182K

By soldering the resistors on top of each other, you have joined them in parallel. The values do not sum together (as is the case with series resistors). These 2 resistors in parallel have an equivalent resistance of ~45K.

R3 is 4 100Ks with a 62K or something like that with some heat shrink tubing on it.

Same issue as R5 above - parallel resistors do not sum together. 4 * 100K + 62K in parallel would give ~17.8K.

R7 is a 10K, you might just not be able to see it, and R5 is an 82k with a 100K soldered on top to make ~182K also FYI R3 is 4 100Ks with a 62K or something like that with some heat shrink tubing on it.

You've mixed up your series- and parallel-resistance calculations. An 82k in parallel with an 100k will equal 45k. They need to be in series to get 182k. R3 is going to be way way lower with 5 resistors in the mix.

You can also check all the connections with continuity test on multimeter. Also add pic of the bottom side of your build.

I want to know if the direction of the resistors matter. I really want to get this to work, so plz help

Here is the Schematic:

Here is what i built
