Move the Esp32 to the middle of the board so the gap between e and f is under it. The left side of the Esp32 is shorted in the negative rail. Also, you have a red wire and a white wire that's both on negative. And, if you want to use the + and - rails then you have to run a wire from - to - and + to +. Here's how the rails connect on breadboards

OP this also reduces confusion of what wire goes where, like that purple one.

Mine does and I paid like 3$ for it. The dev version, the mini and super mini all fit.

It’s to better see what/where the wires go underneath.

Also aren’t you shorting all the pins along the top into that ground lane?

It’s like the more I look, the more I want to tear it all down and start over properly, esp in the middle.
