You have been given a working example with the correct property names,
and LilyPond puts out a flurry of warnings about the wrong property
names:

warning: cannot find property type-check for `fingeringDirections'
(translation-type?).  perhaps a typing error?

Computers are traditionally bad at divination, so starting with
copy&paste rather than retyping things and/or trying to go by memory
might be a good idea.
