Simple 4051 analog multiplexing circuit not being so simple... Help appreciated

exoro:
I have a breadboard similar to the one above, but twice the length. The row (or I guess column depending on how you're looking at it) doesn't complete a circuit almost like there's no metal below.

Yes, there are "double breadboards" with four red lines and four blue lines.
Common problem. That's why it's always wise to post a picture of YOUR setup.
