RP2040 (Pi Pico) and SX1280 LoRa module

I have been trying to get this combination working for a few hours now and I either have extreme packet loss or it just simply doesn't work.

The LoRa module is a RFSolutions Lambda80. I have tried circuit python and Arduino with radiolib. I'm at a loss. I'm trying to send some telemetry data (at the moment it's all random numbers, but it's basically 3 accelerations, GPS coordinates and altitude, altitude from a barometer and also compass orientation. Ive tried vibe coding it with little success and I tried doing it by hand to absolutely 0 success.

Are there easier radio modules I can try that have a small form factor? Or is there something I should look into that I might be missing? I've triple checked the wiring is correct and since some really slow code does work but still has packet loss I don't think the wiring is the problem
