Brilliant puzzle and an amazing use of the variation. Thank you!
This is probably obvious but do you mean symmetry across both the x and the y axis?
Neat puzzle! The Penpa answer check doesn’t seem to be working on this one.
The answer checking seems to work for me, so you might have had an odd green line segment somewhere or a mistake in your solution.
