Hello and welcome to Microsoft Q&A @Anonymous

Can you try using a Web Activity first? When the goal is getting a token, I always use the Web activity. It looks like you are using a Dataset, and so probably lookup or copy.

Is the desired process:
Use OAuth2 to fetch token -> use token to get email

I suspect what is happening is
Providing OAuth2 credentials to get email, skipping token.
