Help with espresso flow (lemmy.world)

Please help! I have all the fancy espresso tools and a nice grinder, but I have no idea why I don’t get an even flow out of my machine. I have a Niche grinder, I use a WDT tool to distribute the grounds, I use the Normcore distributor, and a normal dose tamper. I replaced the shower screen on my espresso machine with the VST screen and I’m using a VST 18g basket with a puck screen. I am pulling 40g shots in about 28 seconds, so I believe my flow rate is right, but I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong!

I feel attacked by this video.

This was exactly what I needed to see. I was afraid that maybe what I was seeing was a sign of some crazy bad channeling, but I have always used lighter roasted coffee and I forgot that would produce the results I was seeing.
