WorldGuard plugin regions not functioning

I'm making a new minecraft server using PaperMC/Bukkit, and i'm trying to make a worldguard region for my spawnpoint to disable PVP and stop griefing. Problem is, the region isn't working. I selected the peremiter with the //wand axe, vert expanded the area, defined, and made me the owner of the region, but when i do /region info while standing inside the region, it doesn't show that i'm in a region and instead shows me the "__global__" region. idk what im doing wrong, please help me.

I found the issue. I was vertical expanding the region AFTER the region was already defined.
