flex drive/rkcstr test problem please help

Hello. I have a flex drive 5 that I am attempting to set with a rkcstr test load. I am confident in my soldering skills from other hobbies although this is the second laser driver I have dealt with and the first test load. I am using a 18650 battery and have the flex bridged for the ~450 - 1.1 range. When I read the mV on the test load with my meter in the 2000mV range I get a reading of 3. If I twist the potentiometer it will rise to 4. I am unsure why this is happening. I have done rigorous research for this project but have come to a problem I cannot understand. Thank you. -Michael

I actually figured out the problem but now that I am a member of this forum maybe I will have something to contribute to others. Thank you for your quick reply by the way. I had my resistors soldered on the test load with no orientation. I did not realize there was a polarity issue. I came back to delete this post but could not figure out how.

Resistors, their orientation and polarity issue?:wtf::crackup:
Or did you mean the diodes when you said resistors?:thinking:
