Is conductor plate bad?

Hello y’all, 3 days ago bought a c250 with knowledge that it had a torque converter clutch solenoid code and pressure solenoid A code.. fast forward got the two solenoids overnighted and installed. Fast forward to this evening, I took it for a drive, and although it technically drove, it wasn’t driving right. What confirmed by suspicion was when I attempted to reverse it wouldn’t shift into said gear. But the scanner back on it and how I got solenoid codes A-G electrical and a torque converter solenoid code. Clearly the conductor plate is the problem, as none of the solenoids are reading. Here’s the question, is it possible to get the plate repaired? Or is a whole new one needed? I read somewhere that the repair shops are able to fix them, but are not able to under curtain circumstances. Any input on what I should do would be greatly appreciated! Here’s a video of all the codes I got (
)
Thanks!

I have used them before and confirm they are legit.

By the way, is that Innova scanner Mercedes-specific. Sometimes generic scanners can read the code but provide misleading info.

WRT CircuitBoardMedics, your codes are not included in what they do. However, I would call them anyway and they may be able to tell you what is wrong and what needs to be done. Who knows? Just one of those codes could be causing the rest. All of your codes are pending and half of them are permanent. The permanent ones will go away after you fix whatever needs to be fixed.

it seemed to work pretty well for what I was doing. I personally don’t own it, I rented it for 150$ for 90 days from AutoZone. I have a scanner, but like you said it only gave generic codes.
