This is my first post on this forum. I'm fairly new to all things Raspberry Pi. I've been playing with some newly bought RP kit over the past 6 weeks or so. I've not been doing too badly so far in my own opinion, but I think i'm starting to get to that point now where I'm clearly needing to seek support from others in a place like this.
Please go gentle.
Ok, lets start with the subject matter to get us going.
For my Raspberry Pi 4B (RP4B) I have bought the following little OLED screen:
https://thepihut.com/collections/adafruit-lcds-displays/products/0-91-oled-display-module
I've followed all the instructions as linked here to get everything installed ready for first test usage:
https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/0.91inch_OLED_Module
I get to the point where I'm instructed to run "sudo python OLED_0in91_test.py" to test the little thing out, but instead of it doing something interesting, I just get the following:
= RESTART: /home/chrispi/OLED_Module_Code/RaspberryPi/python/example/OLED_0in91_test.py
INFO:root:
0.91inch OLED Module
Only Device_I2C, Please revise config.py !!!
I simply do not know what this means to be honest and the instructions make no account of this possibility, and as such, do not offer any advice on what I need to do to fix this. I'll be honest, I'm not even sure I've got the thing wired into my RP4B correctly for the I2C interfacing!
I have the wires all plugged into the top left pins on the RP4B 3.3v, SDA, SCL, GAP, GND. So that's Pin 1, 3, 5 and 9 when referring to this pinout illustration:
Do i have the correct pins?
If anyone else has had any joy with this little display, I'd be most appreciative to receive any help you can offer me. This is my first outing with attempting to use any sort of display with a RP. Thanks!
ADDITIONAL info:
The test file I'm supposed to run (and gives me this error), lives here on my RP4B:

I've run the following with the following result (3c) which looks like it might being seeing the display ok (as well as another I2C device I have there in series with it (76)):

Does this help anyone help me diagnose what my problem is?
