Greetings!
Sounds like a big project so it's good you are taking your time to check things as you go along. From what I've seen and heard, most problems with electronics that does not work comes down to solder connections.
In a new build like yours, there is the added bonus of solder bridges. Some of those are so small you either have to use an ohmmeter - my personal favourite kind of meter - or just go brute force like a Cockney sailor and score around the pads and traces with a sharp but fine knife. In any case, you need good lighting to see the board properly to then see where bridges are that shouldn't be.
That sounded Shakespearean.
Cheerio
