Lost all my bitcoin on the day of the fork in bizarre turn of events

This is a puzzler...

I'll start from the beginning. I use coinbase to buy bitcoin  Using a credit card. Knowing of the upcoming fork I decided to transfer the entire balance 0.13 BTC to my Jaxx mobile wallet because I could shapeshift to a different currency on the go if bitcoin price crashed on the go. This is exactly what happened. Watching the bitcoin price plummet I shapeshifted the full balance to ETC which was stable and rising a little. After I woke up the next day I noticed that my transaction was not confirmed. After a full day without confirmation some balance appeared back in my wallet, still with the transfer unconfirmed this is when I went straight to my coinbase account, scanned the QR code address and transferred the full balance back. That was on Sunday when the fork was supposed to happen. Those 0.13 BTC never arrived and I've no idea why. The Jaxx and coinbase support were fully useless which is why I thoight I'd consult some actual experts on here. I still have my 12 word password. I used this to recover my Jaxx wallet on a different device to see if it worked and kept logging on to check if the BTC turned up over the next week. To this day I don't know if it was the shapeshift or the transfer where it was lost. The transaction is now sitting at successful and I can see my bitcoin sitting in some address. Another point to note is that on November 12th was the date where I hit send from my Jaxx to coinbase. Yet on my Jaxx wallet it's split into two transactions on the 15th and 17th basically at the exact times I logged in to my recovery account on my laptops. I'm not too worried about this aspect but it is odd. Just like a delayed bank transfer I assume??

Here are the two (yes two, idk why it wasn't just one) outgoing transactions

Were they lost in the shapeshift? Could they have been transferred to the incorrect recipient address? My coinbase one has changed since so I can't really confirm this. It currently says it's this

Any ideas? Goes without saying that anyone who helps me get my bitcoin back would be rewarded for their efforts
