Category filter not working

I’m not sure why my CMS filtering isn’t working. in my “News Categories Template” CMS Collection page.

However, it’s working just fine in the “Blog Categories Template” CMS Collection page.

When I try to link my news categories to the Blog Category Item Link element, the Inner Text Settings “Get text from News Categories” doesn’t show up unless I put in a text block. However in the “Blog Categories Template” CMS Collection page, it’s possible to do so without adding the text block. I suspect this may be the issue.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you very much!
