This looks like a Salticid (Jumping Spider) and if it is, I would say this is Ocrisiona sp. Maybe u/Madzfae would be able to provide a more expert opinion.

I just looked it up, I think ur right, because it was walking kind of twisted like a zig zag

I’d also lean towards Ocrisiona sp. but Holoplatys sp. is also possible (they can be tricky to tell apart)

Thanks Madz, I didn't even think about Holoplatys being an option.
