Paper clips protruding 1/4” out of the N connector works well too. Bend them 45 degree slants opposite from each other.

If it's not showing anything at all, it must not actually be linking, in which case it could be something configured wrong... like maybe a type in the key, or one of the frequencies is entered wrong. If all the config matches, the first thing I'd check would be the duplexor... but it sounds like you're already checking that.
