This could be another oddball case of the Ruida `PWM Rising Edge Valid` settings problem. It generally shows up with images, but dense vector patterns can also expose it.

More discussion and what to do:

This is repeatable, and all come out the same, like it was meant to be, how do I attach image?

If that’s not the case, then upload one of the failing `lbrn2` files along with a [screenshot](https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/) of the (presumably correct) `Preview` and a crisp photo of the (incorrect) results to help us see what you’re seeing.
