Description

### Current Behavior

When the SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) is not ordered according to the sequence of components > dependencies > vulnerabilities, the dependency graph may not be displayed.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Give a sbom contains components, dependencies and vulnerabilities sections, each section can not be empty.
2. Change order like vulnerabilities > components > dependencies.
3. Upload the sbom.
4. See the result would be different.

If vulnerabilities are placed first, both components and dependency graph cannot be displayed.
If the order is components > vulnerabilities > dependencies, only the dependency graph will be unavailable.

### Expected Behavior

We should remind users of the importance of SBOM file order.
Otherwise, the order should not affect the display.
