TFMini sensor

Hi everyone.

I purchased a TFMini sensor a while ago along with a bidirectional logic level converter for it to work with my Arduino UNO board. After the third failed attempt trying to solder the logic level converter, I decided to ask my project tutor for an alternative and he suggested that I could just expose the copper wires from the jumper wires and tie them to the holes of the logic level converter. I tested it and it seems like the TFMini is able to initiate but when it’s time to get the measurements nothing appears on the serial monitor.

Is it because I’m doing something wrong or could the TFMini be defective?

Thanks.
