There is clearly something wrong with "reading" but "writing" might be ok.
You can just tell the sketch that you have a RM68140 e.g.
tft.begin(0x6814);
But first off, you need to plug the shield into the Uno. Every male pin must engage with a corresponding female socket.
Please don't be offended. Many readers use trailing wires instead of plugging a shield straight into the header sockets as Nature intended.
