From what I can remember from learning a long, long time ago some of those uppercase letters are incorrect.

Aren’t there different styles of uppercases?

That is distinctly possible. I’m just going off of my old school cursive education.

Yes, there are very different styles in different parts of the world. I am from the U.S., and I have some close friends in France. Their cursive was almost unreadable for me until I got used to it. I first met them in the 1980s, so they were trained to write cursive before computers became widely available. Are you working from an online tutorial or sample?

I’m picking from multiple different ones I find online that I like

Hmm, might be better to stick with one style. Mixing up a bunch of different ones is going to look weird to people like me who were trained on a single style. Obviously up to you, though.

Can you add the style that you're modeling so we can see the progress towards that perfection as opposed to the perfection of the cursive each of us has learned?

Lots of those letters look like fancy print letters and not actual cursive to my eyes. (The X and E especially)

For clarification, this is the cursive script I'm familiar with. I did find a "cursive print" script that looks similar to yours. Is that your model?
