Apple Music not letting me add songs to playlists.

I have been trying to add songs to multiple different playlists for 2 weeks and every time I try they don’t add to the playlist. I am adding them just like I always have but they don’t show up when I go to look at the complete playlist. I cleared out some storage and tried a ton of different ways to try and add music but nothing is working. I am on an Apple Music family plan if that helps provide information on how to fix this. Thank you.

Add a song to a playlist in Apple Music without adding it to your library


"With Apple Music, when you add a song to a playlist from the Apple Music catalog, you can turn off the option for it to automatically add to your Library. For example, if you create a playlist for holiday music, you can add songs to that playlist, but the songs won't play when you listen to your Library on Shuffle.

Before you change your settings, make sure that you have the latest versions of iOSiPadOSmacOStvOS, and the Apple Music app on Android."
