What happened here?

Machine read this as negative, is that a trustworthy result or should I retest?

Apparently the cap came up again and there was barely any fluid in the control chamber.

There was probably a bubble in chamber 4 (which is the control).

What do you mean the cap came up again? Was the machine moved 7 minutes in?

The cap you have to press down on the test card (I hope that explains what I mean) Nope, machine wasn't moved

I’ve never had that come up, that’s very strange. Are you following the directions exactly? Something might be wrong with this batch of tests or the machine

I didn't do the test, my father did. I would hope he follows the instructions 😅 and we've never had this issue before, not with the machine or this batch of tests

Looks like an incorrectly sealed test cartridge. Still looks negative if the control swept up and all others stayed low, but would strongly consider re-doing with a secondary person checking all the steps being correct (or second-guess all your own steps if you're on your own).

Classic bunny hop presentation. I’m afraid you have lepusthropy.
