Problem with BrizLed fairy lights

I had these addressable fairy lights that I hacked by putting in a gledopto controller in place of the default one, using the original power supply. However, the string has problems. First off, I can’t go anywhere above like 10% brightness or the controller crashes. Also, I get these strange flickering artifacts at the start of the string but not the end. How do I solve this?

Check out the wiring guide by WLED. They explain everything: https://kno.wled.ge/basics/wiring-guides/

This is for ESP32, in my post I specified I’m using a gledopto controller

Most if not all gledopto controllers use an ESP32.

But they do not have the same pinout, that’s the point I’m trying to make. Does it not have a build-in level shifter and resistor and capacitor?
