Add some pictures of your setup maybe? Or explain how you built your fruiting chamber.

Scrap the bubbler and fan. Mist and fan manually 3-5 times a day. Be patient. You're 7 days in, you should see something very soon.

Did you consolidate your cakes for a week before putting them in the fc? I've seen others who didn't also say the myc keep growing outwards after fruiting.
Otherwise, just be patient. Ditch the bubbler and fan thing, the fan will most likely dry out your cakes. You want a natural draft in the room, just crack open a window or something.

Should I also have taped up some of the holes until they pin? Also my fc is about 6" above dresser is that OK?

This is probably why. Get rid of this shit and then take care of them and you'll see pins.

Well at first I had 3 cakes 1 was 100% 2 was 95% and the 3rd was about 80% when green mold took over when inoculation fail at one of the four holes so I ditched it and decided to birth the cakes put in fc after short dunk and roll I already know that was wrong so they went a week then one cake started turning blue so I did a 14 hr dunk then heavy roll and they have been in there a week now and have took over all the verm that was on the cakes with still no pinning so they have been out of the jars for about 15 days or so

Give them some time and spend that time while you wait searching the forums. Search about misting and fanning and arial / aerial mycellium (people spell it both ways) and then click the trusted cultivator posted the response button. Read a bunch of those.

Since you used a bubbler and a fan, you didn't follow the tek like you said in the OP, right?
If you let the cakes consolidate for a week, you should see pins in 1-7 days, depending on fruiting conditions. If not, you'll wait more.

have you been keeping track of temps inside and outside of the chamber, what about your humidity levels? you should ditch your fan it may look nice but just fan with the lid after you mist the cakes. follow the teks to the T don't improvise or try to improve them and you'll do fine.

I hope the fan is not there anymore
Also you need more perlite if you want to reach the correct levels of RH. Double that quantity I'd say.
Other than that, you are ok.

Mist more until you get the perlite.
A cube is a cube and GT is no exception. They like what mushrooms like: water, high RH and FAE.
If you want to try something different, go with grains. You need a PC though.
Here you'll find everything you need to cultivate mushrooms:
