Chasing Lights build issues

HI! I just built the chasing lights sequencer and it's working 95%... 😅

I have two issues:

A) The sequencer doesn't run when supplied with a clock from Shikensa, but the clock dividers work... when I supply the clock from the Doepfer A-160 the sequencer runs. So I discovered that when I boost the clock signal (no matter where it's from), the sequencer starts running at some point - the clock dividers work all the time. Also, when I feed a clock divider's output into, say, track B, then also nothing happens until I boost the clock. So I suspect that I need to check around the area on the pcb and/or the IC that's responsible for accepting and distributing the incoming clock signal - any pointers?

B) The trigger output A is always high (the led is lit), no matter if the punched in a sequence or not... Again, any hints where to look first?

Also, I don't know if you do this, but if you could supply the schematic I could look it up myself. If you don't, I understand! Thank you in advance!
