this was how it looked immediately out of the freezer. Within 10 minutes all the way pretty much melts away and I'm looking at a clear tray with maybe some residue on it but I can't tell what's going on

Hmm, looks like a disappointingly low yield on all pics. The fresh out of the freezer looks frosty with just a couple spots of spice. The others just have a couple spots of spice.
I sure hope you are covering your tray firmly before placing in the freezer or that you are using a dedicated DMT freezer. Most folks put a small sealed jar in the freezer with some super saturated solvent, then a snow glow forms which is then filtered through a coffee filter then the jar can be scraped out.
Of course I am wondering which TEK you used?
Also there is a very real issue that some bark is quite weak and some may even be bunk.
I super hope you get some answers and can get a real yield soon.

It also looks like there's moisture in your dish, which makes me think you're not covering that dish while it's in the freezer.
In the event that I am correct and you are not covering it, then as @Pandora stated, you ought to use a freezer dedicated to DMT extraction. Otherwise, any food in that freezer is likely contaminated to some degree by the solvent.
One love

You might want to reconsider your starting material.
Beyond what's already been said, it's hard to focus on any further possible areas of troubleshooting without considerably more detail regarding exactly what you did throughout your extraction.

Thanks for all the responses. I've yet to get anything but a hit?! That said, I've used this company multiple times in their bark has been good. I wonder if I'm not waiting long enough in between processes I'm using the lazy Man's tek. And as you said this is a purely dedicated freezer I don't have other stuff in there without the lid on it for the reasons you mentioned would there be any other reason to put a lid on it with that heat water from getting in it I don't know how water gets in it other than the Naphtha is just Naphtha so I don't know how the water is getting in it

Are you covering with plastic food wrap (cling film) or a lid that came with the container... I would only be using cling film 
Because there is humidity going in every time you open the freezer. Inside the freezer humidity is at 0% because all water is frozen, so every time you open it, more water gets in. That's the reason freezers tend to get ice.
Close your vessel and that humidity won't get inside it.
As @blig-blug alludes, the water comes in as vapour every time you open the freezer door. Some of this vapour can condense (or resublime) directly as ice on the surface of the naphtha, whereupon it promptly sinks due to being denser than naphtha. Ice will also form around the edges of your dish but that will stay where it is until it melts.
