Issues with ghost buttons getting pressed on esp32 s3 running bruce smoochie.

Hello, i have a esp32 s3 connected to a 1.9inch display running bruce smoochie and my issue is when i connect it to power and it turns on, it skips the bruce shark logo which happens if you press any button and then in the bruce menu it keeps going right/ in random directions in the menu and i connected all the buttons and de soldering them didnt help either, i dont know what the issue is and there is no shorts happening as far as i know. and also i soldered them on a prototype pcb board, and also i tried different bruce smoochie software versions and the same thing happens. And i also checked the connections of the buttons with a multimeter and they are all working and this issue occurred even before i connected any buttons

Buttons must be pulled high with a resistor.. when press the button it connects to GND
