Thanks for the help. The issue with the Authorization failed due to insufficient permissions. Invalid Scopes has been resolved and the transaction history checkbox ticked.

The issue which is still unresolved is I cannot see any of the transactions successful or failed displayed on the PayPal dashboard.
