The part you are trying to print is very particular as it's very thin.
I had a few bad prints to start with but got my photon working.
It is different to FDM, you just need to know a few rules.
It the built plate level and set correctly.
Is the print orientated correctly for resin printing.
Are the setting for the resin correct, I had to increase the exposure time for the base layers a bit.
Below is a list of resins and setting.
I was having trouble with a Anycubic Maroon (red), it's a difficult one to use.
I now use Elegoo LCD ABS-like resin.
When I got a few good prints and found the correct set-up I have not had any problems, I've done 100's of prints.
Try something easy to start with, then build on that.
I use PrusaSlicer for orientation and supports and Chitubox for slicing. The software with the Photon is a bit basic, but it works.
I hope this helps.

To start off what resin are you using and what settings? Is this the included pre-sliced test file or one you sliced yourself. Prints not sticking to the build plate is often due to not enough cure time or bad bed level/Z-height. Prints failing like your picture are often due to not enough cure time on standard layers, resin/ambient temp too cool, or lifting speed too fast. More information to start will help.
