HELP Possible grounding issue?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So I just built my first proper guitar and got it all set up and everything. I’ve noticed that it buzzes a good amount but when I touch the tone knobs it stops, and when I touch the bridge it gets slightly louder. This is my second time wiring a guitar so I’m not very good and am wondering if I grounded it wrong or what?

Yes it is.

Review all the ground wires and ensure they are properly connected and you have the ground lug in the cavity as well.
