Guest Users With 365 Group Access Denied Access to Sharepoint Site

Question

My Organization has created a share point site with customer marketing materials that have restrictions based on the agreement we have in place with our customer. within the site there are folders that are restricted to the 3 levels of customer using the groups within sharepoint. the sharepoint groups contain 3 o365 groups. i have created a test guest user in entra and added them to one of the groups and they should inherit permissions to access the site and the folders within the sharepoint site according to their access level. but when i try and access the site with my test guest user i get the error access denied.

I have the site set to external sharing anyone in sharepoint admin centre -> active sites -> sharing but i still cant generate a link for share the link with anyone and i think this might be my issue
