Post pictures of your work, it's likely a bad GND or a GPIO is touching GND. Do you have a multimeter ?

You have a multimeter? You'll need one to test continuity to be sure the soldering is solid which sounds like it's not.
Great example is the Right direction isn't even soldered in your picture, just looking good doesn't mean it's actually solid.
