Addressable led strip help!

I have 2 strips, 1 on each side of the Playfield. Both are 1mtr in length and 144 led in each length. I am using an separate power supply to power them and controlling it with a teensy 3.2.

Testing through the Adruino software, everything works fine and all test patterns work without any issues.

I have followed a few different tutorials on the setup of these and don’t seem to able to make any progress and get no effect results from any table through dof on VPX tables.

I have followed the tutorials on the setup
With dof and cabinet files and don’t seem to able to get them to work.

Has anybody got any common suggestions on what I may be missing?

 

Below are my GlobalConfig.xml and GlobalConfig_B2SServer.xml
