I have completed the grid.

I find only one missing item in the grid. Four of that item in sketch.
The others are given by misheard word in each clue.

So what does "missing items must be highlighted in a contiguous arrangement of theme' mean?

Thanks.

There are four to find, sunray. Look upwards and backwards etc!

There are four needed for the theme, but there are rather more than four contiguous ones in the grid. It's obvious which ones are intended but it might have been better if the preamble had specified a symmetrical arrangement to ensure a unique solution.

Surely we need one more clue, one more letter S...
As the final item on the list was plural, like the others?

Perhaps that's a missing item, requiring the S above cell 31 to be highlighted as well!

Just joking.

It could be an oversight or it was difficult to get a grid with precisely the right number of clues.
