Christine a very inventive solution well done for lateral approach to soldering. I can see why you are getting the illumination problems. If you look at my build you will see that each leg goes each side of the tube, there were 2 reasons why it was done that way, one was to isolate each contact, the other was to ensure that the LEDs were mounted pointing directly forward, looking at your mount they are pointing outwards away fron the mount, giving you the wrong pattern. Is it possible to straiten them up.
Bob.
