I agree with the above. Since you don’t mention asking for help, that’s your mistake. Technical knowledge and skills are the least important element of research. Much more important is understanding the process, and that involves the teamwork aspect.

Edit: And asking for help here is good, of course, but you are unlikely to receive the type of specific assistance you would get from someone doing similar work in your lab.
