Hair Curves not working after applying interpolate Hair curve

So I’ve been following a tutorial for making hair in blender 3.5+

I did everything as described yet when I apply the modify “interpolate hair curves” to the empty hair curves its does this and does not attach to the mesh, even though its selected as the correct surface in the modifier. Does any one know if ive done something wrong here, or if I they’ve encountered something like this before?

try to invert the order of the modifiers.
