The twisting of the hub after the first two sides doesn't connect cleanly either so no idea what's going on here.
It's almost like this hub is weird, or a couple of different sized spokes snuck in here.
2-cross build with spokes being too long
You're braver than me. The very thought of trying to build a wheel leaves my sobbing, in the corner, curled up in fetal position. You can do it!
