Solar doesn’t seem to be pushing anything to the batteries

I think we found problem. This breaker attached to the bussbar (the top one from the earlier picture) is definitely bad. Confirmed with voltmeter. Ordered replacement for delivery tomorrow. Will report back after install. 20amp breaker if anyone was wondering.
Well, this is definitely great news and a start.
In my mind you still have two issues that need to be investigated and addressed.
1. Your Controller is rated at 40 amps, a 20 amp breaker would be undersized, breaker should be sized for wire size and rated current.( not sure what your system is rated at, so it might never output 40 amps, so you might be ok )just suggesting you go in eyes wide open.)
2. You need to validate whether that Buss is switched or unswitched. If it is switched to the master, your batteries will never charge with the rig in storage and the master in the off position, which is one of the issues you listed in your OP.

I have a saying, test, find something, fix something, and retest.
