I can't complete this hack/breach protocol

[soopytwist]

I've watched several Youtube videos and read a few too, including other posts on these forums. I realise how these mini-games work and what I have to do. My issue is the very first one (aside from the tutorial at the start of the game) during The Gift quest appears to be impossible. If not, then I really cannot see what I'm doing wrong.

The only available sequence is 1C 55. In the grid the only 1C that can be clicked on is the top right corner. Once that column is locked-in I have no available 55 in the column to continue.

Is this a bug or is this particular breach deliberately impossible?

in these cases you have extra moves, so you "waste" your first move to get to where you can make it work. you have 5 slots here and 2 characters to get

AKA go E9 1C 55

You succeed the breach if at any point in your buffer slots you match the code. So take the left path E9, 1C, 55

Oh. Literally none of the Youtube videos I watched said you could do this
Some people shouldn't be allowed to make walkthroughs.

you can exit those things and get a re-roll too, not sure if you can exit the tutorial one though.

time to complete will shorten each time you exit and re-enter though, for e.g will go from 30 secs to 25, but those things can be done in under 10 secs at their hardest

protip:
You don't have to 'start a chain' immediately from your first click.
Later hacks get harder, and you might even 'sacrifice' 2x moves to
- position yourself
- and orientate your next move

To add to this, depending on what you're breaching you can back out of the minigane. That'll reset, and change the codes after a short, roughly 2 second, lockout.
