Your “dead spots” are absolutely related to there not being a restraining strip/rubber band in place.
Without the restraining stainless steel strip, or a rubber band, the negatives will release from their original position, flatten out some, and come in contact with , and rest against, the internal spiral guide that’s in front of the emulsion. Resting firmly against the spiral, the emulsion does not receive any exposure to the processing chemistry. Hence, the dead spot…
if you don’t have a stainless steel strip, be careful with how tight you use a rubber band. You don’t want to make it so tight that you make the film bow further, and then it comes in contact with a spiral behind it. Like goldilocks said, “just right“…
don’t give up…
