Unclear tests

I've been coughing since Tuesday, obviously self isolating. Have been for 2 tests, both at a mobile testing unit, where you do the self testing kit yourself. Both have come back unclear.

The first test I'm sure was a problem with the test kit, as the unclear result came back very, very quickly, and the kit I was given on the second day looked more sterile, etc. The second test must have been something I did wrong, but I don't know what. I watched the video of the man on the website, I followed all instructions on the card, I made sure I didn't touch my tongue with the swab, etc. I literally have no idea what I could have done wrong.

Does anyone who knows about these tests have any ideas what might have gone wrong? And, less likely, does anyone know if the drive in testing center in Penrith, Cumbria has staff who would do the test for me? I'm incredibly frustrated right now!

Bump in case anyone knows any answers to my questions.
