So now I feel like a dummy. And thank you for letting me know there is a Wallet support team....Here I thought I was helping, and I'm the dumb one.....
OK, a factory reset fixed it. All good now. I think there was a problem on the initial setup using my 6P backup. I noticed not all of my Google Services for my account were completely syncing when I was checking the backup before I did the factory reset.
I'm not sure if this is a Pixel Launcher feature or not but it did not restore my launcher layout as the Google Now Launcher used to.
Yep. Same for me. All good now as well. I decided to not restore a backup from a previous phone and to set up the phone as new. I am not sure if using a backup from my previous phone was causing the issue but it seems that way. Thank you for your help.
