I think I need help not finding a ground!

The ground (experienced users correct me if I'm wrong) is the light green part that is connected to basically everything. It is connected to at least one side of every button. If you look above the word TOP there is a wider trace that leads to a hole on the right. That should be ground. If you follow that light green trace, it will be touching all the button connections.

THe ground is the big section on which 32-712620-32 is written. It basically is connected to almost everything, in order to allow the current to flow fromt eh + to the -.

You can connect a wire or pin to the ground anywhere on its section.

I hope it helped !

Yeah, I only posted to be more precise on which part it is, telling him it's where the number is written.

You were totally right btw.
