please help debug my qbittorrent socks5 setup with nordvpn

I am struggling to get my proxy setup to work, as described here https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Proxy/1047410732/Proxy-setup-on-uTorrent.htm
I successfully got the nordvpn login and password, added it to the connection GUI of qbittorrent on my Debian gnu Linux machine, and applied the settings. I use the nl.socks.nordhold.net proxy server, and port 1080. But the final test with the magnet link from ipleak.net fails, and I never see the data from the magnet URL.
Does such a setup work for anyone else out there? How can I debug the setup?

Try using the IP address of the NordVPN SOCK5 server, instead of the domain.
I had issues with using the domain name provided by Privado, and found switching to the IP address resolved them.
ok, i tried that (109.202.99.45) and it still does not work. The "retrieving metadata" progress animation keeps animating, and no info in the magnet link on the ipleak.net website shows up.
Unfortunate. From here the best I can say is check the logs.
i dont see any socks5 or proxy related log messages. should I? if so, how can I enable them?
