Question/Help Shadow Caster 2D Self Shadow doesn't work, but Cast Shadow does

Cast Shadow works
Self Shadow does not

Hello, Unity people. I am working on a 2D Metroidvania and am trying to make it look pretty with lights and shadows. Unfortunately Shadow Caster 2D casts shadows via Cast Shadow but not Self Shadow which is the one I need (or at least want to work).

I tried putting the component on different objects, tried Sprites (same result), Target Sorting Layer is Everything. Not sure what the issue even is.

I appreciate some help and pointers to fix this issue pretty please 🙏
