Hi guys, figured I'd come back here since you were all a great help when my crack build didn't work initially. So, after a couple months of normal usage it seemed like there was a channel imbalance and the left channel was way quieter. So I went back and checked that all resistance and voltages check pass, and both LEDs still turn on. Then I resoldered the connections on the pot and headphone jack. After plugging back my headphones the channels seemed fine and equal but after a minute or so static seemed to appear in the left channel and after jiggling the pot a bit there was no more sound coming from the left channel.
Attached are picture of the pot and the entire amp. Thanks again for the help!

I see many, many solder joints in here where I can't see any solder. I also see many connections that aren't wrapped around the terminals they connect to.
Wrap your connections.
Resolder your joints (add more solder!).
