I bought this RC522 reader and am currently making this project https://github.com/texasmouse/magicbandreader

everything is finally working correctly except for the fact that this reader doesn't read magicbands, it only activates upon reading the card or fob that came with the reader.

I bought this reader of the same freq earlier to use but although it didnt work out, it absolutely was able to read the magicband https://www.amazon.com/YARONGTECH-RFID-MIFARE%C2%AE-Reader-13-56mhz/dp/B01HFWQGVM/ref=sr\_1\_5?keywords=RFID+Readers&qid=1669676365&sr=8-5

Any ideas on what could be going wrong? I'm new to all this and any help is greatly appreciated!
