I have the exact same panels, no hat/bonnet wired directly to the pi, and getting similar results. I also found some settings to try in the WiKi and still get the same results.
wired directly means you logic level might be worng. Try powering your panel with 4.2V instead of 5V.
Also if you have an rPi 4, you have to use --led-slowdown-gpio=2
