Your QIF may not be complete. I believe it is not documented but need first four lines and the last line as shown in the below example; carets are important in qif format as well! This would be the minimal example:
!Account NTest TInvst ^ !Type:Invst D12/2/2022 NBuy PXYZ, INC YXYZ I150 T450 Q3 CR M3 shares @ 150; Nothing to see here ^ With that qif file contents, a top level 'Test' account created, child account called 'XYZ' created under 'Test' account, a buy entry for 3 shares created and a new security called XYZ under NONCURRENCY namespace created. I also think back ticks at beginning and end of the one you provided in the message are extraneous when included.
