So I'm mostly Puerto Rican but my grandmother on my dad's side is from England. I got a DNA test from LivingDNA with these results:

It seems to me like it's overestimating the British component, and from what I've seen on the calculators on gedmatch it may also be classifying some MENA as Iberian, but I'm not too sure. I included results from several gedmatch calculators I've seen people recommend bc I'm not sure which one would be most accurate for me, some of them seem to be giving some pretty different results, but I may just be interpreting them incorrectly since I'm new to all this. The amerindian and SSA components are fairly consistent but the rest vary a bit.

Idk whether the LivingDNA results are the most accurate or if one of the calculators on GEDmatch would be a better fit. Lmk if there are any that are better for my background than the ones I posted, thanks in advance. My mtdna haplogroup is c1b4 btw. And I live in PR, I am not a nuyorican and have never lived in the USA lol, but it doesn't seem to be available in the list of countries so I just left it as that.
Some background info:
Spoiler!My dad's side is mostly european (he is really pale, with light brown hair, green eyes and often gets mistaken for an American tourist) while my mom's side is definitely mixed and seem more native american than the average Puerto Ricans (I have family that look to be around 30-40% NA at the least). My dad did this test and got around 90-95% european (I can't remember exactly sorry lol), his african and taino components added up to less than 5% together if I recall correctly. From what I remember it said he was about 60% British & Irish and 30-something% West Iberian. I don't have his results at the moment, but I can ask him for them. I think they're probably accurate since his dad looks pretty Iberian to me (with a little something extra mixed in) and his mom is obviously white (English, Irish, Welsh, Scottish from what I know). It could be overestimating the british component though. His Y haplo group was J-M67 and I'm pretty sure his mtdna group was u5a1b1 but I can't remember it exactly, I'm certain it was u5a something though.
My mom on the other hand looks very mixed and her mother looks extremely native american for Puerto Rican standards, she could pass as a mestiza in Mexico imo. My grandpa also looks quite native to me but not as much as my grandmother does. His family is very mixed, lots of euro, triracial and even MENA looking people. My mother doesn't look as native american as her mother does but you can tell she is mixed, and her sisters have a much more NA look than she does. I might post pictures in the future but idk if I'm comfortable with that just yet.
