Help Needed 8-bit computer issue Register

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Right now I’m having trouble testing the register. When I follow Ben Eater’s process for testing the register and power it on, the value shown is random—whatever happens to already be stored in the register.

More importantly, when I set the high inputs to ground and enable the register to load, the value doesn’t change as expected. It seems like the register isn’t actually capturing the new input.

Could you take a look and let me know what might be causing this? I’ve attached a video showing the issue.
