Running lightning node

Hello my fellow bitcoiners, I have recently installed bitcoin core and am running a full node with both in/outbound connections. It was a pain getting inbound traffic to come through port 8333 but eventually got it to work. I am now attempting to run a lightning node (LND) on top of core with standard port 9735 connectivity, but am running into issues with "canyouseeme.org" not seeing port 9735 available for inbound traffic. It has no issues seeing 8333, just not 9735. I run lnd.exe and lncli.exe and can only connect to peers for a few seconds before they drop me. Probably due to not getting their response at where they are trying to reach me back at..which is 9735..connection initiates with the peer since outbound traffic works fine but I cannot get anything back from my peer. I have allowed port 9735 in my router(that worked for 8333) but still cannot be seen by canyouseeme.org..I ran the netstat -ano | findstr 9735 command and I can see 0.0.0.0:9735 LISTENING while lnd is running and if I close lnd and lncli.exe nothing is listening to that port and so nothing is tying it up so what gives? ISP said they can see that 9735 is set up for inbound traffic, so this is something local on my side. Maybe an issue with my config file..? I've been at it for hours and definitely need some advice. Thanks to anyone willing to help!
