Yes.

We have done all these steps and it still says 00.00v but then when we read the analog input of AI8 it comes up as 7(ish)v which is about 40% of the 12v(as stated in the Q&A right below).
7(ish) is not 40% of 12.

Are you certain you have battery power coming from the Power Distribution to the Analog Breakout? Measure on the white WAGO connector on the breakout to make sure. You might have one of the WAGO connections hitting the insulation instead of the conductor on an insufficiently-stripped wire.

(Note that you must use a 20A breaker, not a 5A one.)
