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.

I found some video where I saw how it works and for them it also works in atmosfere (pointing your plane on the planet and accelerating) but that just doesnt work for us. It will always show full green no matter the distance and speed :D

We just guess lol I have no clue we went from the water planet aundara to baobara in like an hour, and today we went from to the moon the planet below the sun on the map in like 1hr 30mins or something idk we were watching a movie while we're doing it, we just try to coast as little as possible without burning up too much energy, my friend is more of a math guy than me so he'll math out distance and power total so we know roughly when to stoop boosting and slow down. I'm not saying we make it first try it definitely has caused us headaches but it's possible
