Contact your local EEOC dept and file a wage claim you are entitled to interest on the late payment and could possibly also get additional monies. If there are other claims they can address those too. FEHA can also help you.

How do you know they messed up your direct deposit on purpose? Did they provide you with a paper check? That is the typical response when someone doesn't get paid on time. Ask for a paper check if they didn't offer you one.
It sounds like you have landed a job and company that doesn't suit you. There is no shame in that because it happens. Rather than take everything personally, it would be best if you started your job search back up again. I doubt that unemployment would enter into anything since you were just hired. Your company will be able to get you paid before they would anyway, as there are often waiting periods for filing that delay your ability to collect.

If there’s solid evidence of toxicity in the work culture, even a shred, then you should be planning your exit out ASAP. As for your compensation, I would inquire about it with HR. Could be perfectly logical reason as to why it’s delayed.

Caution thinking HR did it on purpose, without proof it's just a thought. ALSO, once you get that check it will cover that time, unemployment will have an issue with that. Unemployment isn't there because you didn't get a check on time, it's there to help the unemployed, NOW before you throw you computer through the window due to may last sentence, stop and breathe. Ask for a hard check now, they should be able to do an on demand check, if you're local you can pick it up. The first check can have some bumps still, unfortunately. The other things to me are the bigger issue, NOW I know most of us live paycheck to paycheck and not de-valuing that, proof? document.
