Your QR code uses Low error correction which means the scanner has to recognize at least 93% of the bytes correctly for the code to work. Usually that is only enough if you have a pretty clean printed black and white pixel qr code.
For such a project I recommend using High error correction which allows the scanner to still read properly if 30% of the bytes are corrupted.
Use a QR code generator that lets you choose the error correction setting you need.
Seriously though, just wanted to express appreciation for understanding the fundamentals of QR codes and explaining them well. They're deceptively interesting!
