No LEDs after flashing Pwnagotchi image onto SD card

I have assembled the hardware of my Pwnagotchi. I'm using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with a WaveShare v2 screen. I have flashed the Pwnagotchi zip file from the lastest release from the official Pwnagotchi website and I'm expecting to show up in Windows etc

I have flashed the image successfully however when I plug it into my PC I have no LEDs on my Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. There is no image on the WaveShare screen either. I have tried flashing a different OS on and it has worked first time. I have the green light when I use a different OS, however when I use the latest Pwnagotchi img file I have no lights at all.

Could it be the version that of Pwnagotchi that I'm using. I would like to just get it working so if I have to use an older version I will. I mainly want to use Pwnagotchi to learn more about networks etc
