How do I make it so my ship doesn’t shake itself apart / explode?

I recently constructed this craft which is a 1100 meter long ISV. It has 110 parts in total.

However, when attempting to spawn it into orbit, 1 of 3 things happens:

  1. The radiators immediately fall of, followed by the central fuel tank.
  2. The ship manages to stay stable for a second, but the moment I try to move it the smallest amount, it explodes.
  3. It immediately explodes for no reason.

I have Kerbal Joint Reinforcement Next on, and none of the parts are daisy chained in any crazy way. I have autostrut the radiators using the Grandparent setting, but the shop still explodes. I did not autostrut the truss as I found it to make it worse. No rigid attachment was used either.

The truss is what I’m worried about, as I had to make it out of a few dozen smaller Annular Trusses from Near Future Technologies.

What can I do to make sure this thing doesn’t just shake itself apart immediately and can actually be a functioning vessel?
