    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.
    It seems that everything is Ok, just Azure AD password write-back not working.
    Please consider these step:
    1- Ensure that your Azure AD Connect is configured for password write-back(Enabled). You can verify this by opening the Azure AD Connect configuration and check the password write-back settings.
    2- Make sure the account used by Azure AD Connect has the "Reset Password" permission in Azure AD.
    note: you can check the event logs on your Azure AD Connect server for any errors or warnings related to password write-back. I'm sure you can find valuable information about what might be going wrong.

    Best,
