PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See Mantecon v. State, 373 So.3d 929, 939 (Fla. 1st DCA 2023) ("The harmless error test requires the State to 'prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the error complained of did not contribute to the verdict or, alternatively stated, that there is no reasonable possibility that the error contributed to the conviction.'") (quoting in part State v. DiGuilio, 491 So.2d 1129, 1135 (Fla. 1986)); see also Thorne v. State, 271 So.3d 177, 185 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019) ("Although DiGuilio states that the harmless error test is not simply one of overwhelming evidence, later supreme court cases suggest that the overwhelming evidence of a defendant's guilt may be considered in the harmless-error analysis where guilt has been established by evidence not related to the claimed error.").
