Not sure if this question goes here or not, so forgive me if I am in the wrong place

I am running a full bitcoin node and Lightning node (LND). Previously, I was hosting the nodes on a RaspBerry PI but have started from scratch on an Ubuntu 18 Linux Virtual Machine (VM). I stupidly formatted and overwrote the RaspBerry PI drive and did not save the wallet.dat. However, I have the 24 character seed words, seed password, and wallet password.

After going through the restore process on the new BTC/LND node, it said it was a success, and I synched the rest of the chain to catch up to BTC. However, my balance shows zero and it has been a couple of days. Blockchain.com shows the transactions still however. My node does not.

I had three channels open before I shutdown the old node on the PI. The channels were not closed before I erased the drive.

I only put $10 in (for things like this) so it's not a big deal if I can't get it back. Just wondering what may be wrong.
