asymmetrical sprites not working as intended

hey! i've been making sprites for an oc of mine - after the last update i'd made her a sheet with the symmetrical template (with my own colors, i hadn't used the default color-changable green on the sheet at all) and got the addon running smoothly. i still have the wad file for this one and it's working fine.

now i've made her a new version with an asymmetrical sheet (with the ability to change the character's color this time), but now some of her individual sprites have a colored square background and aren't working in the right places? so during gameplay there's just a flickering square around her; the most notable example i have for the wrong sprites acting up is that when facing forward, not only is it a sprite of her looking to the side, but her dead sprite is flickering in the background of her hitbox too. her select/minimap icons aren't showing up n the tire animations aren't doing their thing either. i opened the sprites up in slade and noticed the background square is the same color as the empty space in the sheet template where the sprites don't go, not the actual "transparent" background color behind the sprites. i can post my sprite sheet if needed - i'm not entirely sure where i messed up when making it, if at all. (i did have some trouble n thought it was a bit weird that i have to mirror the sprites on the sheet for my actual intention of where things go to show up properly in the game. maybe i misunderstood the assignment somewhere lmao.)

i threw together a short video of few clips highlighting this stuff. if anyone could help in fixing this i'd appreciate it!

Strange, that never happened to me when I created my character for the game. Usually if something is wrong in Kartmaker it would close itself to stop creating the WAD.
Anyways, I don't seem to have a coherent answer why your character is abit wonky. But it seems that could be a glitch in Kartmaker's part, although possibly there was something wrong with your racers sheet (or maybe the properties.txt is broken?) when Kartmaker was generating your character.
Like I said it's not a coherent answer so maybe show me her sprites (and maybe the Properties file as well) and I can probably look into it. If not, then you could always ask a moderator for help.
