First time build, how does my alignment, and spacing look? (PLEASE weigh in on this I want as many opinions as possible)

Video of my chainline and sprocket when spinning.
Please let me know if anything looks off.
Can you ride it? Does anything bind? No? Enjoy. This shit isn’t astrophysics.
I’m sure it’s fine.
The colors look good, can you post some pics when done?
Looks good to go!
I always check the gap between the crank arms and the chainstays. Line them up and stick your finger in the gap–you’ll be able to feel if the gap is bigger on one side.
Get a tape measure. You want no more than 45mm from sprocket to middle of the frame.
Ideally it would be lower than 45mm. I can’t remember the magic number. But a bmx mechanic told me a while back never go over 45mm.
Love that sprocket, but all the spacing seems good enough, idk if it’s just the angle but the drive side crank could be a hair closer but seems fine as long as the drive train is smooth and straight (sprocket- Chain -back hub/driver)
