Really polished project! Almost everything looks good! But you should add more info in your readme, you should include why you made it, and more info on what this pcb actually does, and what a compact NIR (Near-Infrared) spectrometry board is! You should also look into optimizing your bom, by trying to use economic PCBA, and components that don't require extra to be placed, especially for passives.
Otherwise, a really awesome project!!

Submitted!
I have finally submitted everything!, so please look at the repository cus iam not going to give all of the information here!
Repo: https://github.com/Veltnix/SpectrumLabV1
to sump up:
-Completed the repo
-Submitted everything
-Made sum cool renders on blender
-Finished readme.md on repo
here are the renders!:

Shipping On The Way! 🚢
Fixed the Footprint for the LEDs (to match the new LED from JLCPCB)
Completed .step folder, Created some of the missing .step files from scratch
More cool silkscreens!
Completed BOM
LED Decisions
Decided to use JNJ-3030SX30102384 for the 650nm - 850 nm spectra, and LA T676-L1M2-24-0-2-R18-Z for the Indicator/around 615nm range,
To-do list now:
- Finish the Github repo
- Make some cool renders on blender
- Ship!! o(^ï¼ ^)o

Layout Almost Finished
I have finally wired everything up!
everything is wired up!, but i lowkey forgot to put a real footprint (not just a placeholder) for the NIR LED!, but before that i have to search for the LED and footprint on JLCPCB, which is kinda hard as full spectrum NIR LEDS is really niche. Anyway, here is the board now:
To sum up:
- Arranged all of the components
- Wired everything
- I forgot to add a 2K pull up resistor on both SCL and SDA pin, so i added both of em too
- Added Many Silkscreen

Finished the schematics!
After doing some research, I've decided to use AS7263 as it provides the best spectral variation in the NIR range, and it's available on JLCPCB! 
Also, here is the schematics in pdf!:
ESP32-C3-DevBoard
Here are what the things i've did:
- Sensor Reasearch on AMS Web
- Researching Other Componenents
- Look trough Datasheets
- Complete the schematics
