There is a larger matrix (1500 rows x 40 columns), 1500 observations x 40 variables. then I follow the procedures of PCA(Principle components analysis), 1. find correlation 2. find eigenvalues 3. find Eigenvectors I have got the result (Mathematica)

As I know the first 6 components explain about 95% of the variability, However, I don't understand how to use these components for data analysis.
The projection Matrix "w" as the following
w = dataCorrEigenvectors[[All, 1 ;; 4]];
I try to calculate the dot product of W against data, however, it seems the result is not same as expectation.
PC5 = data.w;
Please feel free to command and advise what I should do. Thank you.
