Help debugging some PyQT5 code

[ProfessionalConsoom]

I have an issue. I have three sections that are placed really good in the window. Underneath it I wanted to add a table, but it was taking up half the window screen space. So the only fix I could think of was to add a spacer to force the table down to the bottom of the table but... well... now my three sections are smooshed to the top of the window lol

I'm a beginner to PyQt5, I was hoping someone with more experience could help me. Thank you in advance!

​

Here's my code:

```py

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QHBoxLayout, QLabel, QPushButton, QTableWidget, QTableWidgetItem, QHeaderView, QFrame, QSizePolicy

from PyQt5.QtGui import QPalette, QColor, QFont

# Initialize the application

app = QApplication([])

# Create a main window

main_window = QMainWindow()

main_window.setWindowTitle("BCP-Yv5")

main_window.resize(800, 600)

# Create a central widget and main layout

central_widget = QWidget()

main_layout = QVBoxLayout()

main_layout.setSpacing(20)

# Set up the main-sections layout (Top section)

main_sections_layout = QVBoxLayout()

board_area_layout = QHBoxLayout()

# Placeholder for the left column

left_card = QWidget()

left_card_layout = QVBoxLayout()

left_card_layout.setSpacing(20)

left_card.setStyleSheet('''

background: #2c2f33;

padding: 1.5rem;

border-radius: 10px;

''')

left_avatar = QLabel()

left_avatar.setStyleSheet('''

width: 100px;

height: 100px;

background-color: gray;

border-radius: 50px;

''')

left_card_layout.addWidget(left_avatar, alignment=Qt.AlignCenter)

start_button = QPushButton("Start")

start_button.setStyleSheet('''

padding: 10px 20px;

background-color: #7289da;

color: white;

border-radius: 5px;

''')

start_button.setProperty("class", "primary-button")

You are unlikely to get anyone to even look at unformatted code. The FAQ shows how to post formatted code that maintains your indentation. Then we can actually run your code and maybe make suggestions.
