Messed up lightning effects

Hello!

I'm 99% ignorant about graphic software (and with no artistic talent to boot), but that didn't stop me from attempting my hand at custom lightning effects. After fiddling quite a bit with Reforged .slk, I finally got the file in, however it looks off really in game, the colour is mostly red and strange RBG noise seems to have been splattered all over it. I tried different configurations in the .slk itself and that is not the issue.

My guess (again, as someone who has no idea whatsoever) is that I messed up the alpha channel somehow? BLP Lab seems to detect it fine, but maybe there's an extra step I'm missing? Or is the resolution, compression...? Any ideas or knowledge?

It's fine if I need to remake the ray, but I'd rather not waste my time without being sure where I'm messing up (or even better, if I don't have to remake it at all!)

Thanks everybody for their time!
