I have "Accept quote requests" turned on in Management.

I tried setting up my own method (and enabling it) where it's set to "manual"
(doesn't show up)

I tried importing the shared method (and enabling it) that is specifically called
"Request for quote" and it only gives a "place order" option,
the request for a quote button that should be below that is not visible for the
buyers.

I followed the instructions on this page: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2437
and nothing seems to be working.

What am I missing?

In truth the whole quote process in general is broken and unfit for purpose:-

I really wish Bricklink would adopt a simple system where only instant checkout
orders are FIXED orders, anything else is regarded as a quote. The seller manually
invoices the buyer and the buyer has 24 hours to pay after receiving that invoice
else inventory auto returns to stock. There should be no obligation for a buyer
to buy under these circumstances and therefore no longer any reason to need to
issue NPB's
