Some pictures of your xlights config and also the Advatek helper are needed so we can give you some input.

I consider myself a newbie, but I found switching to advice in "The Death of Start Channels"

simplified my set up. Using 1 line per controller in xLights setup tab, and then using xLights to upload the configuration to the controller as Keith describes in his video at this point in time

.

It took me a while, but with the help of the built in tests within xLights, controller and FPP, I was able to fix up all my set up issues.

Sorry I'm not really troubleshooting your issue, but I'm hoping the above may help.

Quick look I can't see anything particularly wrong, but I'm no expert

Only thing I might try is setting exact number of pixels on each port in the Advatek assistant instead of just max number you have.
I know some controllers don't care, but I know one of my types does.

Go into the display testing in xlights and turn on a prop at a time. If you have 12V strip you may have assigned 3 times as many pixels as it really has and that will get really messy when you have daisy chained props.
