Hope this is enough, let me know what more you would need.
Thank you for looking into this.
We're missing a few tabs, including the assistant tab and summary thereof.
Would suggest you check that all firmware versions are up to date, as is the assistant loaded on the multi.
Step through this doc to make sure all the basics are done properly:

One obvious difference so far on a single phase system, in ESS multiphase regulation should be set to individual phase.
Make sure the BSL BMS is also reporting the correct number of batteries on the GX.
An easy way to check if limits are being hit would be to manually raise the SOC limits to be above the current reported level of charge.
Your active limit is a lot higher than the set limit, you may want to choose "without batterylife" for test purposes.
If ESS is properly operational then the correct state should be displayed fine.
Do you have any problems? As long as everything is good you wont see them and you don't want to see them.
