EDIT (Kinda): as of writing this post i have now found the points again and will re-solder them but i still need to know why the flasher will not flash my ps3 with the dump

Hey it's me oDRaGz. You didn't plug in the E3 Flasher to the PS3.

Then wait. Otherwise you have named the file wrong or your sd card is rooted.

ok i need different help again
im getting the error 1001111 which is that it failed to write/delete the ps3 bios and that the issue is that the clips are not connected.

i know this isnt true because about 2 minutes before trying to flash i had done a quick test to check and it worked fine with no issues.
i made a backup and it went smooth

Reseat the clip, and secure it better. When the board gets hot, the tape will soften. So if you don't secure the clip better, you don't get a good connection.

An alternative would be to solder the e3 linker. If soldered correctly, you will have no doubt on connection.

but i can get a backup with no issues its just when i want to flash i get that error

all i do is change the switches and press start and then i get this issue, if i change them back to do a backup, then it will work again

i've tried to re-attatch and reseat the clip many times but i still get the same result
