How do I transfer a custom ringtone to iPhone 8 using iTunes 12.8? Non of the suggested methods seem to work. I have a custom ringtone that I have used since my iPhone 5.

That's the right place, there isn't supposed to be a deeper subfolder. So what happens if you connect the device so that it appears in the sidebar of iTunes, without clicking the device icon at the top, and then you drag and drop a ringtone file from Windows Explorer to the device in the sidebar and let go? You should see something like this when you've got the right place to release the file. Note the blue border and the Link legend on the cursor.

I take it the files you are trying to add are in AAC format with a .m4r file extension and are less than 40 seconds long?
