A careful pass on Breadcrumb Schema looks like this. Start with real input, not a placeholder you do not understand. Add each step from the top of the site down to the current page.

Finish by reading the whole result, not only the first line. Copy the BreadcrumbList JSON-LD into the page.

A second reading of Breadcrumb Schema is worth it because the first pass is easy to rush. Say out loud what the output is claiming. Steps stay in the order you add them.

Add steps from the top of the site down to the current page. No. You copy the script into the page. If those two speeches disagree, change the input or pick a different tool. Breadcrumb Schema will not resolve the disagreement for you.
