Why does this circuit not work properly?

I recently bought a kit and one of the projects was lighting up LEDs using the 74HC595 IC. I couldn't get it to work using the wiring that was provided, the LEDs didn't fully light up and some didn't light up at all. So I used the simulation in Tinkercad to just try and see what the problem could possibly be. Tinkercad simulated that the IC was being given too much current. Im a beginner in electronics, but should I need a resistor somewhere before the current hits the IC? Or is my wiring off? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
