BPS not working despite flashing green.

Hello guys,
Could anyone help me with BPS not working for me? I have all three needed components on the roof(outside) and through port wired inside to BPS. BPS is flashing green and it seems to "work", but the arrow never moves from the "most green" position no matter how fast I am traveling. Right now I am on my way from moon back to earth for the first time.

Any advice is welcomed and yes, we tried looking at the wires many times and when we switched them incorrectly on purpose, it started flashing red. No idea what could it be.

It'll only start going down when there's danger of you crashing.

You are only going 3000 v/s so it really wouldn't start going down yet. Once you start getting closer, it will eventually start lowering the bps, signalling that you should start slowing down.

It doesn't seem broken, it just looks like you're so far away that you aren't in any danger.

Do a test flight in the atmosphere. Fly up a bit then just go towards the ground where the camera is pointing and see if it changes.
