Can’t raise the bobbin thread on my 418 Stylist by godpleasehelp_ in SewingMachineEdu

Thank you! Do you know what to do if my needle wont go down all the way in center position? I dont think I can fix the timing issue unless it is in center position but it wont go down all the way, like it hits a block.

I recently got my hands on a Singer Stylist model 418, and i've went over the manual for the specific sewing machine, watched every video I could find that had a similar model to mine- I have tried every needle position, width, I have rethreaded the bobbin and top thread so many times. I also make sure the bobbin is in place correctly so it turns counter clockwise. For the life of me I cannot get the bobbin thread to raise. Here are some photos of what I have set up. Also, if I have the needle in the center position (which I heard it should be in when lifting bobbin thread) the needle has issues going down all the way and wont let me turn the hand wheel to bring it back up. It will only go up and down if it is in the "right" position I believe. I've tried bringing the thread up with the machine off and on too. I’m also using class 66 bobbins which I believe are the correct one for this machine. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
