I would do like you said, cut the good strands and start over. So sorry! How often did you water this plant? It could be due to overwatering.

i’ve had it for about a month and watered it when i first got it and then i think about two weeks later i watered it again

I would put the surviving strands in a well draining soil (succulent/cacti soil, plus some perlite if possible). When your new propagation strands start to have new roots, water them only when they 'deflate' aka show signs of dehydration on their little 'raindrops'.... from the photos the root and the parts that are close to the soil looks dead 😭😭
