I am currently using Luckperms, ExpansionLuckPerms, and LuckPermsHook.

My Group Formats are coming from the Spigot plugin "CMI".

This is what I have in CMI's configuration file:
GroupFormat:
'1': '%luckperms_prefix% &8{DISPLAYNAME} &8&l> &a{MESSAGE}'
'2': '{prefix_vault}&f{displayName}&7 > &r{message}'
'3': '{prefix_vault}&f{displayName}&8 > &r{message}'

And what exactly isn’t working? You gave a detailed explanation of your setup but not the issue itself (not working isn’t an issue description)

My group prefixes aren't displaying in chat, all it shows is < user >

In the screenshot above it shows that I have a prefix but it's not showing up when I type in chat.

You need a chat plugin for the prefixes to show

CMI plug-in can show prefixes, but it looks like it does not work with placeholder

You need a chat plugin for the prefixes to show

It looks like CMI isn’t even formatting the chat. As that is the default vanilla chat. LuckPerms itself does no formatting whatsoever. So it looks like you need to properly configure the CMI Chat. How that is done should be documented on the CMI pages/docs/wiki.

I figured it out, thank you.
