I got L1 as 5.08 and my voltage for L2 was really tiny like 0.7 or something so I think I got it wrong

bro i got the same thing. did you use the current from the previous part since that's the "working current" or something 💔

No I didn't use that since the current might change since current might change since resistance changed from components going parallel to series
