Comm site Visitors have access to Main page but not libraries

Morning. I created a Communications Site, and added a visitor to it.

Later i wanted to remove access to Site Contenet so i found online that i needed to Site collection Features and set Limited-Access user permission lockdown mode Active, I did that and next thing i know, when trying to access a library as a Visitor i get an Access Denied Message.

So i went back and deactivated it, but still, no access to libraries, and Site Content is not showing on this Test Visitor user

 

Then when i go back to the site as admin, i can see the permission level for the Test visitor is correct

So not a clue why the test user is not able to access the libraries.

Help Please!

    MVCuser access the Communications Site with an Owner or Site Collection Administrator account, then click on the library/ies and check if the permissions are properly inherited from the root or if you have unique permissions.

      Yes, nothing has been set up with unique permissions. (i double checked)
      I talked to Microsoft earlier, and apparently when Activating the lockdown it removes access to anything within the site.
      The problem is (and even though i followed their istructions) after i deactivated the locdown, those users still have access to nothing but the main page.
