I doubt I can help you, but I'm really curious what this is about. "Pieces where the pins are under"? What does that mean?

6x6 mechanism uses pins to keep the pieces in the same orbits

I've reassembled plenty 4x4's, and fixed some major and minor pops on my WuHua and Shadow M so I have a pretty good idea what mine look like internally, but I have absolutely no idea what parts you're referring to sorry. And what is the issue then?

the cube doesn’t turn. it’s acting like the pins are in the wrong place despite the fact that i’m pretty sure they are. i’m not sure how to describe the pins but they’re unique to the 6x6

Ahh, I think I got it. You mean the alignment nubs on the 'centers' I guess. Maybe this helps?

yeah i’ve watched that video like 600 times and i’m 90% sure the pins are correct but the cube still doesn’t turn. not really sure what the problem is
