One of the LEDs in the slave side having different and inconsistent color when not using pre-built hex file #90

Hello, I... am not quite sure if this counts as an issue, but I want to make sure if I am doing everything right since this has been bugging me.

I finished building my redox keyboard yesterday and successfully burned the firmware into both sides (left as master). Right now, I am using the default configuration for everything to make sure things work before I go further with customizing.

No problem on the key inputs so far, thankfully. However, there is just one minor hang-up - one of the LED on the slave/right side has different color than the rest - instead of the default red, it is green-ish (and sometimes turns white). Thing is, when I am using the pre-built hex file for RGB support, all of the LEDs light up just fine with same color.

I am using 12 LEDs in total - 6 in each side. Doesn't matter whether I used the default RGBLED_NUM (14) or changed it to 12 to adjust with this, one of the LEDs on the right always has different color when not using the pre-built hex file from the firmware/ folder. And perhaps this is just my imagination, but the right side's LEDs are slightly brighter than the left side.

(If it may help, I am using the QMK MSYS on Windows 10 64-bit.)

Have I done something wrong, perhaps?

I figured out the problem - apparently, the problem is because I didn't solder properly the ground pin of the RGB LED in the master side. ^^;

Apologies for the seemingly silly mistake. Case closed!
