Rocket Building - no backpack, can't hand over part

Joined the Rocket Building TFO but it won't let me participate. I arrived with no backpack and though I've dug out an engine part it won't let me hand it in at my table. It won't let me do anything. I couldn't adjust parts afterwards either.
I got nothing and I got slapped with an "AFK" ban on this toon because the tfo itself prevented me from participating. Seriously? Your "fix" broke this. Thanks a lot /s
Fed-rom in case that matters.

Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end of it.

OTOH, I also had the event slap me with an AFK and no reward even though I did fully participate. Had my backpack, dug through piles constantly, upgraded, got 2nd in the launch with purple engine, purple hull and blue stablilizers and still got slapped with an AFK and no reward. Really? Remove the AFK penalty if it isn't going to work right.
Also this is second day in a row this happened, once for each account now.
Is there some buff, perhaps from T6 reps, that is clearing the backpack off our characters?
Edit:
Actually, come to think of it, yesterday I had to play twice.
I got a ARK-penalty the first time because I had the Magenta backpack, but my name wasn't in the list of players on the right of my screen and the play named there was also wearing a Magenta backpack.
There was no name at the blue symbol, but I couldn't interact with the blue bench at all.

l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.

@ltminns Thank your contribution. Problem is that this character is in need of marks to level reps as she's very new and badly kitted out this is the idea TFO to run her in. So how do you suggest I fix that? Or should we just stop asking for a game that idk, works?
Edit: This is also meant to be a fun little event thing, not a grind fest that constantly lands you with an AFK penalty so you can't even do other queues to get marks. Like are you for real or what? How am I at all supposed to get marks. Not all of us have our asses planted at home 24/7. Some of us are out there risking our lives so everyone else can stay safe. Get home to some very limited game time before we have to risk our lives again tomorrow, with little in the way of compensation and yet a broken queue keeps punishing us and preventing us from playing.
Yet this is not the only issue. Just ran it again today. Got backpack and participation. Great. Okay decided to run it again as as I said she needs the marks. I participated all the way through it. Got my rocket to blue during the gather event then during the "fiddle with the junk to get better parts" I got hit with a brief spat of snrs but it cleared and I got myself a purple engine out of it.
AND YET this broken queue tells me I got an AFK penalty for "non participation"! Pardon my French but what, pray tell, the ****!
To me it was looking for trouble adding these 'touch up the paint' changes to the point they were not documented in the Patch Notes but only in the Community Manager's Twitter Feed.
There are numerous Bug Reports in on this so hopefully it will be fixed by this week.
Thank you for your reply.

Both time arrived with backpack, both times participated. First time, got my rocket to purple in the gathering phase so saw no reason to do anything in the adjustment phase. Result, AFK penalty and no rewards.
Had just enough time to do it once more so switched toons. Got in with backpack, this time I "only" got to blue in gathering phase but due to UI lag in the adjustment phase so having to spam F to get to the scan game and sometimes ending it prematurely thus "wasting" the part I ran out of junk before end of phase. Result, AFK penalty and no reward.
Won't have time to play more today so one more day wasted on this. Congrats on completely wrecking the event.
I could swear that I had seen reports of the "No backpack" bug in previous years, but couldn't find any by searching First Contact Day in this forum section. I do know that I have seen InvalidEntityName on the list in previous years, though.
First Contact Day Event:
Resolved an issue that would sometimes cause AFK status to be applied after completing First Contact Day – Model Rocket TFO.
Resolved an issue that would sometimes cause the end scores to be unreliable based on the parts collected.
First Contact Day – Model Rocket TFO, will no longer backfill the match if someone drops out.
Resolved an issue in the Patrol, “One night in Bozeman”, that would sometimes prevent progression on the “Defeat Borg” objective.

The note about backfilling when a player drops is likely what caused my one glitch.
