I just can’t seem to get the onboard led to turn on, isn’t the onboard led supposed to be my main source of illumination for the organic material that I’m testing , I’m using an esp32 with this, I just need to use it on a banana and get the values for the six wave lengths, so I can know the various levels of organic absorbance for visible and NIR light
From the photo, it appears that the header pins were not soldered properly to the sensor board. I would not expect the sensor to work at all.
See this guide: How to Solder: Through-Hole Soldering - SparkFun Learn

The pins have not been installed correctly on the sensor board. The black insulating strip should be in direct contact with the underside of the PCB, and the solder applied to the pins protruding through the vias on the top side.
My guess is that even if the solder connections are OK, the pins are too short to make good contact with the protoboard.
Rather that removing/resoldering, use a QWIIC connector cable instead.
Shoot, that’s what happened: The pin’s headers are back-to-front. You might possibly reach the pins with female jumpers in place of your Yel, Purp, Blue, etc (IOW, jumper to the stubby pins on NIR and bypass the protoboard), not very well or reliably but those jumpers never are.
If you decide to resolder it, getting the old header off might be a chore, especially compared to how easy is would have been to install. I certainly recommend not making any attempt to reuse the header, mostly to make it easier to remove but also because it will have solder on the socket side. You might be able to tug the black plastic off the pins and leave yourself six really easy things to desolder instead of one hard thing. If not, see if you can carefully & gently cut/sever the plastic header at the pinch points, that’s what they’re for. In any case, take good time & care to not tear or overheat, both can occur very easily.
Edit: We doubled! Look ok, I’d give those spheroid blobs on the left another run with the solder gun.
The center joints below are cold solder joints, and should be touched up. The one on the lower left has too much solder, and may also be cold in the interior.
Either your solder pencil is not hot enough or you are not heating the joints correctly (the pencil tip must make contact with the header pin to make sure it heats up sufficiently). What type of solder are you using?
noted, do you normally make use of this sensor
I’ve fully made all the corrections , thanks alot, Do you know how I can get the on board led to turn on
Does the ‘power’ LED light up now when wired up? Share a new photo of the new setup
Please verify that you can communicate with the board by running the I2C address scanner program, and that the correct I2C address is identified.
Then, try collecting data from the board. Point it at a dark background and an incandescent light bulb to check.
Something looks ‘off’ with your board. Did you get it from sparkfun or somewhere else?

The only thing that light up when I’m connected to my computer is the esp32 , although I’m using the UART pins and not i2c cos the program couldn’t detect any i2c devices but when I switched to pins 16 and 17 it started reading (although the on board LED is still the main source of light I desperately need)

You’d just use the “void takeMeasurementsWithBulb();” and associated function. Check out the library AS726X NIR/VIS Spectral Sensor Hookup Guide - SparkFun Learn
Also curious where this’n came from…haven’t seen beige qwiic ports on ours yet!
I’m currently using the getChannelValue() to get my measurements, so do I just call the above function ? And also , I got mine off Aliexpress
Since your board appears to be a counterfeit, you should ask Aliexpress why the light does not come on.

It’s very difficult to read your code as it is.
