Charlie's Pentagram Machine broke my game.

The code is random for everyone on every playthrough, so i'm not spoiling the code for anyone else.

I reached the part where you've found all and interacted with all 4 of the pictograms and are going back to charlies machine to solve the puzzle. One slight problem. There is no way for me to progress past this point in the game. I'm soft locked and can't do anything else now.

The first pictogram is number 41, but the 41st cassette tape is gone. I've looked all over the internet and on youtube, but I seem to genuenly be the only person with this issue. I've got nothing in any document or audio logs talking about where to find the cassette tapes (if you can in fact find them), and I don't have a quest that tells me that it's missing and that I should go find it.

Does anyone know what to do from here?

Keep looking at the cassettes. If it's part of the code then it's there.
You should have an overlay on the screen telling you the code. Did you go to Fia's and find the paintings there? Once that is done it should put the code in floating letters like the other messages.

41 is probably in one of the other cassette slots with faded numbers. All of the cassettes in my playthrough were in the wrong spots

The cassetes aren't in the right order. 41 isn't necessarily next to 40. Keep looking at them. The white numbers on them can be hard to read.

based on the order in the picture it should be to the left of 40

I can second this. It is most likely not in the spot you are looking at.

Though to be fair in my playthrough this specific puzzle was bugged. I had a different bug though where one of the paintings just didn't translate to a journal entry and I had to guess a number. But after I entered it correct once, I had the hovering numbers for the rest of the playthrough.

They aren't in numerical order, and I remember realizing that what was drawn was different from what I thought it was. So I just tried each of them to find the symbol on my own.

Looking at your screenshot, the button below the one you have marked is 17. If you look at the diagram, the one with the correct pictagram doesn't have 17 below it. Also, in the diagram, the one on the left is not 40. So 41 is not the one you have marked, it's the one 2 positions to the left.

41 was one of mine, so I know for a fact is is there. Bear in mind they're not all displayed in numerical order.
