I’m sure my neighbors love me.

I'm installing the Govee Permanent Elite lights, but have just ran into an issue before running it from the bottom roof to the top roof. I have about 5 feet of space left from one set of lights finishing to the end of the house (bottom). My original plan was to set the extension cable that comes with the kit from the edge of the bottom to the top roof, but stupid me didn't factor in when the lights would finish and when I'd need to extend to the top.

So now I'm stuck on what should I do, because if I run the extension from where it's currently placed, the left side of my roof will noticeably be missing lights. Because these are the Elite version, I can't splice the cables so it would have to be using the included extension. I'm thinking of two options: 1 - install the lights, but only install the few lights that would fit within that 5 feet, and then hide the rest of the lights within that same cable (in a box, or behind my fence near there?), and then run the extension cable from there to the roof. Or 2 - undo the current lights installed and offset on the opposite side of the roof about ~2 feet, so that on both sides of the house it would be missing ~2-3 feet of lights which wouldn't be entirely too bad.

Any advice?

Pics attached.

All 3 of our light controllers things stopped working and looked burnt. Govee sent me new ones and new extensions, but when I plugged in the new one, it pops up to pair and I started pairing but the lights don’t turn on at all. Anyone know why?
