SPI connection to ADXL345 with Nrf52840

Hi,

I'm trying to test a simple SPI communication between nrf52840 dev board and adxl345. I'm following this guy's youtube tutorial on segger embedded studio. Here's the code to read the device ID and also the hardware setup. I'm getting 242 instead of correct value of 0xe5 or 229. I'm not sure where it's wrong. I tested on an arduino uno and it works. Please help.

Thanks
