Cant get it to work

I guess its possible that I have a bunch of bad chips

Expecially if you have powered them with reverse supply.

You show 1K resistor in series with leds. This is too much!

Let's make the resistor calculation together:
It is safe enough to assume 1.7 voltage drop for non-high-brightness red led, so 5 volts - 1.7 volts (led drop) = 3.3 volts

10 miliamps is the normal forward current for a standard led so:

3.3/0.01 = 330 Ohms

With 1K you will have a very weak led since: 3.3/1000= 0.00333 = 3.3 milliAmps
just 1/3 of the current required.
