2 load cells (half wheatstone bridge) + HX711 + ESP32: Works, but faulty measurements

Sometimes the colors are wrong on the load cells. Disconnect the load cells completely and check that the resistance from black-to-while is 2000 ohms, and from black to red =1000 ohms, and white to-red=1000 ohms on each of them. Red should the middle of the half-bridge. If not, whatever are the middles of the half-bridges should connect to A+/A-.

That's the stand_alone_cell resistance in the picture, and the numbers as you mentioned - there is no mismatch between the colors.
