    I'm no expert here, your desired torque in torque management is set to 0 you need to bump it up to 640.Your log shows the trans at -38 and never changes, like I said I'm no expert.I would get a pressure gauge and see if you have any line pressure. then check your electronics connections.

    unplug the trans and see if it has any delay going into reverse, if it does the trans is shot, reverse doesn't need any electronics to make it work

    I tried this and it does move but after 5 minutes it doesn't anymore im guessing its the pump or filter

    Plugged filter, bad torque converter (most likely), or damaged pump from improper trans installation (torque converter not seated). I'd go in this order for most likely culprit;
    1. Bad Converter
    2. Damage from improper installation
    3. Plugged filter.

    Classic signs of a failed torque converter are that it will work when dead cold, but as soon as it starts to build heat, it will drop out.
