Yea kinda getting in the weeds here.
You didn’t do anything wrong the wallet and the node were not synced for some reason (bad connection through Tor maybe, internet connection or…).
A wallet needs to connect to a blockchain through a self hosted or public node. If the node or wallet are not synced you are not going to see the transaction. This would be true of any blockchain.
I might not be explaining it well enough but glad it worked in the end.
