3rd Gen/Manual Swap not starting

Need some help getting the car started. 3rd gen swap as well as manual swapped. For whatever reason, my inhibitor looks different than everyone elses. I jumped it and got it cranking (it cranks really strong) but it wont start. I have fuel, but not spark. So far ive tried;

1. Checked fuses
2. Checked cam wiring and am 99.9999% sure my trigger wheels were done properly (I ordered them from Darren so they’re basically plug and play and i matched them with pictures)
3. Take crank sensor out and try starting without
4. Do relearn for ecu (per instructions sent with ecu and the 5 second on 5 off process)

I have these codes as shown. Also attached is what my inhibitor relay looks like.

Im super stumped and kinda discouraged after doing all this work to the car but im hoping it’s something small.

I'd start by checking you have the correct voltages to the cam sensors and wired up correctly. Check wiring to the crank sensor too per the FSM. It's not going to start if it doesn't know the position of the crank. You need at least 2 of 3 working and you look to be 0 for 3.
