[BUG-resolved] (Switch) act one glitch, completely stopped

i’m playing on my nintendo switch and am completely stopped. i even looked up some video play throughs and did all the right things so i know it’s not an error on my end.

i’m on act one, “ascend the eye of the storm.” i activated the target and you can even see the energy flowing through the attached cord but it won’t let me through.

is there an easy fix? or do i need to start a whole new save file? my system is up to date, i just checked.

edit: i just realized i wasn’t going fast enough :/ nevermind!
