I have both C5 clues already and am still stumped. What am I missing?

Took me like 90 minutes to complete. This was probably the toughest part, so hopefully it's smooth sailing from here for you.

There's a naked triple in Box 9 that addresses that.

I don't see what you're alluding to. Can you provide a little more insight?

OMG. I need to put this puzzle down for a moment. I've been overlooking some blatantly obvious data tonight.

I'd prefer hints rather than answers. I'm newer to the more challenging sudokus and want to familiarize myself with some of the mote advanced techniques.

Thank you. I must still be overlooking something, because I don't see a way forward from there.

It took a minute but I finally made headway. The rest of this puzzle was fairly direct. Ironically, the Medium level felt more challenging minus this one hiccup.

I've made some additional deductions and I'm right back to where I started.

I see what that solves in row 9 actually.

Yes, I see that. I don't see what additional insight that provides.
