cant see the azerite bar at all for some reason. it isnt hidden either, in fact i cant see it in the config mode

The azerite bar shows as the old artifact bar.

I had to use my middle mouse (wheel button) click to change the artifact bar to the azerite bar.

This reddit post shows to right click though:
