2021 M3 battery shot at 77K miles? Or my own fault?

I installed a Govee Underglow kit on R2 today. Shortly after I started getting warnings that the max charge was limited due to an HV error.

This is what’s on the service screen.

Is it likely this is related?

I have the Govee going straight to the LV battery, currently in-switched and “off” via the app. I will add a switch tomorrow.

I used the included small screws into plastic under the car. I don’t think I pierced the metal protecting the battery pack.

I also stuck the Govee controller to the metal brick next the to the LV battery. Perhaps I’m causing a heat issue?

Suggestions are appreciated!
