I've added some pics in the Pictures section of my project in hopes of helping.
1. I used one of the white protoboards and jumpers so I could easily switch from the original display to the nice TFT display
2. To switch I remove the raduino board, add 6 jumpers from the mega 2560 and 3 from the adafruit si5351 board to the proto board.? Note the scotch tape holding the jumpers in position.??
3. A collection of the male-male and male-female jumpers is a must
4. The wires are full length until my plastic cabinet gets here
5. The 3d printed panels found on Amazon are handy for mounting all the external parts.
Finding a few goofs was easy this way!
I failed to sign up for the hints/tips here so I'm behind on the essential mods I need to do.
I have a poppling sound in receive, along with some hum. A new supply and a buck circuit to get the mega2560 voltage down a bit from 13 volts come next.
Hats off to Joe & SP for their efforts and their persona help.
