After you play the board, wich isn't really tough, try to make the alternative contracts:

of 6NT and 7 diamonds

Nice problem, I don't like the way you bid it, but that's maybe me not understanding 2/1

My auctions started 1♦-1♥-1♠-2♣-2♦-3♦ and now I would bid 3N not 3♠ with half a club stop, a minimum hand and only 5-4 in the others. I pictured the hand as 5-6 at this point not being somebody who opens 1♠ with that, also when over 3♠ I bid 4♣ I would bid 4♦ with a minimum and no heart control (if partner doesn't bid 4♥ we have no slam) rather than show extras and probably a stiff heart with 4♠.

6♦ can be done in lots of ways, I lost the first trick and then ruffed spades.

6N is simple enough on the squeeze and I think I'd make that at the table.

7♦ is simple enough when you've seen the lie of the land from trying the previous contracts, but not sure I'd make it at the table. Also everybody leads trumps against grands

Didn't you cick on the 1♠ alert? it says 4 spades, not 4+

I also though 3NT was a great bid from north, but I was lazy and bid 3♠, the reason? otherwise I would had to program another strain for NT played from north.

I did click on the alert to see the "could be balanced", but misread it as 4+/4+

You really have to open 1♠ with Jxxxx, x, AKQJ109, x ? and play 2♠ opposite x, KJxx, xx, Qxxxxx ?

I haven't been dealt that one yet , 7-5 I open 1♦, don't remember many of those, I don't think any of them had a constructive bidding.
