Can't connect. Interface stays DOWN.

Hey forum, tried to look for people with a similar problem couldn't really find a solution that worked.

Following problem:
So I finished the setup and I can boot into gentoo. I tried to download Xorg, did the kernel configurations according to the wiki, but when I tried I noticed I have no internet connection. I followed the wiki for wpa_supplicant and iwlwifi, since I have a AX200.
When checking "dmesg | grep wl" I can see that wlo1 loaded the correct firmware and iwlwifi shows nothing I recognized as an eror.
When checking "ip a" wlo1 is down. I used wpa_passphrase to generate my network and append it to wpa_supplicant.conf. wpa_cli gives me some kind of Network_not_found error even though the ssid is correct.

I'm aware I have to post config files. I booted with the livecd and am going to setup internet connection now.
I'm going to look for the tool that automatically uploads files to pastebin and returns the link. Excuse me for any bad formatting since I am typing this on my mobile phone.

This is my first post, hey , if one of you could tell me which config files you need I will try to send them.

Previous reasons why I failed to connect to wifi:

- The hotspot was using WPA3 which my wifi adapter does not support. Fixed by switching to WPA2.
- The hotspot had TKIP enabed which is deprecated and disabed by default in wpa_supplicant. Fixed by first enabling TKIP USE flag, then by disabling TKIP on the hotspot.

EDIT:

Post your wpa_supplicant config, which is usually /etx/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.
Also, try to connect to the hotspot with wpa_cli and post the output of the failed connection.
