list-units only shows units that are not "following" other units. A symlinked device node udev is aware of will show up as unit that "follows" the primary device unit of your device (where "primary" means the one that is named after the kernel name)... "systemctl list-units -a" will show you all units systemd is currently aware of. Do you see the device unit you are looking for there?
