The article at https://shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/numberingappendixes.html applies to all ribbon versions of Word.
To reference heading numbers with page numbers, you must make use of the built-in heading styles, which is why the article suggests using previously un-used heading levels for appendix headings. For those previously un-used heading levels, you must customize the heading numbering as appropriate.
Which steps are not working for you?

Here is a sample document.
The document is set up so that the appendix is separated with a section break which allows you to set restarts for page numbering and associate different heading styles with the page number in the appendix section.
Note that the TOC assumes that you are using a comma as the list separator in Windows. If not, you have to recreate the TOC (or edit the TOC field code and replace commas with semi-colons).
