How to create proper connectivity without errors

Hi all,

I am having some troubles with creating a functional electric utility network. I will describe my process up until this point. 

I have csv files with my distribution network data, I have developed a python script that creates a join between the individual files to connect them spatially. This information comes from the nodes file (power poles), the script then converts the data into point and polyline feature classes and into a geodatabase. This all looks good and mirrors other cad models of the same data. UTM Projection is set for the geodatabase, map and the asset package. The script then creates a data loading workspace with mapping as stated below:

Nodes > Structure Junction

Nodes > Electric Junction

Transformers, Protections, Generation, Battery, etc > Electric Devices

Transmission Lines > Electric Lines

Transmission Lines > Structure Lines

I have been trying to figure out how I need to map my data in order to create successful connectivity. So far, I have tried a few different combinations of mapping fields and entering coded values for domains and association status. When I load my data and create a service territory, I then use geoprocessing tools (asset package to geodatabase, update data source and delete un_temp files) this all creates the utility network. 

So... essentially everything has invalid connectivity with red zones.

Error Codes: 8, 9, 25, 37

Please can someone help me understand how I am supposed to actually map the important connectivity fields. Almost all resources online are big picture, but I want to find specifics of what should be connected to what.

Also, I am a student working a co-op trying to figure this out for my research institute. Not a Professional engineer.

Any and all information will be helpful, I will add some pictures to show what I know so far and my project with the map hidden out of privacy caution.
