Herringbone laminate job showing edge lift after just two weeks

I tried a herringbone pattern with laminate in my living room for a creative touch. After two weeks, the EDGES are lifting BADLY because I skimped on expansion gaps. How do you guys handle expansion in complex patterns like this?

Oof, herringbone is brutal for expansion gaps. You gotta leave bigger gaps on all sides, not just the straight runs. Trust me, it's worth the extra time to avoid this mess.

Ugh, learned that the hard way with my own floor.
