Arduino LCD Screen Only Displays Blocks

Projects General Guidance
1

I'm trying to build an old project I did about a year ago with my Arduino Uno. I've got the schematics all loaded up and the build is just as I used it back then. But now I'm only getting scores on one row of the LCD screen but No text is being displayed. Why would this be. I followed my video I made to the T but nothing

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
                                  
LiquidCrystal lcd(7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12);

void setup(){
  lcd.begin(16, 2);                   
  lcd.print("hello, world!");
}

void loop(){

}

Images of the schematics are uploaded below
