All 5 jars with this. As someone stated in another post it appears my syringe/lc/needle was cobtamz. But what kind of mold is this? Or what caused this?

thats a really general question that none of us can answer without more details.
It could be a contaminated syringe, you could have rubbed dirty laundry on it...who knows lol. You need to give more specific details on your process to get a good answer.

Looks like green mold all over the cake, which means your procedure wasn't sterile, or the syringe you had was contaminated..did you flame the needle, was the jar sterilised for 2 hours etc?

Jars were PC’d for 2.5 hrs and needle was wiped with alcohol wipe and flamed red before every jar but I flamed them outside the SAB and let it cool down. Also I only sprayed water in SAB and wiped some areas with alcohol wipe.
What do you recommend to Do different next time?
If the syringe is contaminated is the spores left in it any good? Or it can be transferred?

As long as you didn't wipe the needled after you 'd flamed it, then you did the right things..It could be the spores themselves..The only sure way is to germinate on agar..if you have a PC already you have 90% of the equip you need, so why not go agar and grains and take a lot of the chance element out of grows

Ive been reading up on various methods and This is my first grow and also failure lol. I wanted to do everything on my own as far as materials instead of the stuff pre sold. What direction as far as agar should I go to? Ive seen malt and others already pre sterilized for sale? I would rather make my own os there a specific style you prefer?

Honestly failure if something that happens..that;s why you should always have multiple things on the go so it doesn't matter if one jar fails
For agar there's numerous recipes, but malt, potato, grain water are generally the most popular..There are some recipes in my sig to give you an idea..Plus follow the Pastywhyte's Easy Agar Tek for instructions on making plates etc
