Iphone ringtone

I purchased a ringtone through the tone store but it isn't showing up in my list of ringtones. I saw online while browsing for a solution that you should be able to just tap the purchased ringtone in the tone store and a menu should pop up with the option to make it the default ringtone- however tapping the purchased ringtone does not pull up a menu or anything for that matter.

There is just a button that says play which when pressed just opens apple music and plays the song/ringtone. I can't find an option to set it as my ringtone and it's driving me crazy.

I was worried that perhaps I purchased it as a song rather than a ringtone but again- I bought it in the tone store amongst other ringtones so why would it be in there if I couldn't use it as a ringtone right? Tried purchasing ringtone again but same thing happened so have just wasted money downloading 2 ringtones which I can't set to default as set to my ringtone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for reply. Yes I used same log in and did everything exactly as you said but ringtone went to my songs and there was no option "set as ringtone" that popped up. I was in tones store so have no idea what went wrong. I have successfully downloaded ringtones before but don't know why it didn't work this time. My problem is that the option to set as ringtone does not appear. My itunes and iphone are latest versions as I checked that.
