ERC721A failing to verify on etherscan

Hi all!

I've been trying top verify this smart contract for hours and hours, and I've followed all the troubleshooting I can, but all to no avail. I'm seriously pulling my hair out right about now and about ready to break down and give in. Is there any kind soul out there willing to help me? Please!

I'm using remix, the contrract is deloyed but failing to verify.

The simplest way is to use Hardhat to deploy and verify. See How to verify a contract on Etherscan/BscScan/PolygonScan
