Sorry for the late response, been on PTO and all of these notices were going to my junk folder. Thanks to Outlook. Whatever was going on, the SPO folks behind the scenes fixed it. Turns out that when a communication site was created they where auto activating the "

SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" under site collection features. Once the site was turned into a HUB, that feature broke the primary communication site navigation and other features. It also affected the TOP navigation in odd ways. Turning off or deactivating the publishing infrastructure feature brought everything back to normal.

This has since been fixed and now when a communication site is created, the publishing infrastructure feature is NOT active by default.

Activating and Deactivating site collection publishing infrastructure on team site collection which is linked to HUB site resolved my issue. You need to use different browser and update the top navigation link on HUB site using settings.aspx. It is easy to crack this issue using all the information provided by each contributor + combine them and implement.

Thank you to all for sharing... :-)
