This is hard to follow because you are referring to pin number on a PCB with no schematic. How do these relate to the pins on the driver chip?
Also, 10 KHz is at the limit. For initial testing better, I think to work near the midpoint of the acceptable range, perhaps 1KHz. Then after it works sneak up on the max. 20% PWM duty cycle and a 24V power supply is about 4.8 volts to the motor. Many DC motors will not move at 20% of rated volts. I'd not be surprised if it took 10 or 12 volts to overcome internal friction. Motion control is always the hardest to make work at the slow speed end. The motors all take a high voltage to "break free" and then run too fast so you have to slow them below the break free voltage so make them run slow. This is why we have PID and encoders and why PID tuning is hard. A trick is to use a power supply that is a bunch higher than the motor's rated voltage and let the control logic do whatever it takes to drive the motor to its set-point. All brushed motors have brushes and hence friction. You can use BLDC but they cost more. (note that a stepper is a type of BLDC. What will make this work is that I doubt an index table needs to spin fast in both directions and start and stop with high accelerations. Set the speed and acceleration limits in LCNC way-slow.
