Hi Henri!

I believe I have a clue about what your issue is, but I can’t be too sure.
Next time, maybe post a screenshot of your issue. Based on what you’ve
described, the problem seems to be a swapping permutation of pieces
belonging to the same cell (well, hypercell anyway). In the screenshot
below, on the 4D Cube, I’ve tried to create something that seems to match
what you’re describing, where two pieces are swapped in terms of
permutation on the same cell. If that’s similar to the issue you’re dealing
with, I have also attached a video showing how I resolved my particular 2c
swapping issue. Hope this helps any bit.
