Backprop for CNN kernels

Part 2 & Alumni (2018)

Let’s say a convolutional layer takes an input 𝑋 with dimensions of 5x100x100 and applies 10 filters 𝐹 5x5x5, thus produces an output 𝑂 10 feature maps 96x96.
During the backpropagation the layer receives 𝑑𝐸/𝑑𝑂 of shape 10x96x96.
My question is how to compute 𝑑𝐸/𝑑𝐹 ?

According to [that article]
(https://medium.com/@20!7csm1006/forward-and-backpropagation-in-convolutional-neural-network-4dfa96d7b37e)
𝑑𝐸/𝑑𝐹 can be calculated as convolution between 𝑋 and 𝑑𝐸/𝑑𝑂
Unfortunately, the article does not cover a case with multiple filters and multiple input channels.
Since 𝑋 has shape 5x100x100 and 𝑑𝐸/𝑑𝑂 has shape 10X96x96 the depth of 𝑋 equals to 5 and the depth of 𝑑𝐸/𝑑𝑂 equals to 10. So the depth dimension does not match. How to compute convolution in that case ?

The author posted a solution to this problem as shown in the image.But this shows that the gradient of all filters will be the same across their channels which I could not reproduce with my code?

Is the method wrong or is something wrong with my code?
