Issue with powering ESP32 Dev Module with 5V regulator(7805) from 12V power supply

Hi,

I agree, pull everything out of the protoboards, turn them through 180degrees and fit your components back onto the board.
That is, place your components in a totally different part of each board.

Also check the solder joints of all your PCB modules.
