Short 3D animation, leaving strange marks on corners

Hello there. I'm still trying to learn things with After Effects by myself. I made this short little animation in 3D. The video is attached here. When the rings circle around, they have some sort of white contrast on the top and bottom corners. Each Burning Circle Comp contains a smaller version of the Burning Circle animation, but in 3D. I'm using the Classic 3D render engine (don't know if that's correct wordage) so that I can use blending modes if needed, but I don't know if they're actually needed, if that makes sense. I have a habit of providing confusing information or not enough information, so please tell me if you need me to provide something else. Thanks.

Your glows are not extending beyond the layer borders. You need to make your layers a lot bigger. You might try extending the layer bounds. You also did not show both the switches and modes columns so I don't know if you turned on collapse transformations. You may need to add the glow effect to the nested comps instead of the layers.

Sorry about that, let me turn on switches and modes. I was hoping to not have to make the layers bigger than they currently are, any way to work around that? Thanks for the help. Is this what you needed in the picture for switches and modes?
