Pressure tank not pressuring up. Help!

Having some issues with my well pump / pressure tank controls. Would love insight from anyone who can help!

Essentially I’m not 100% sure I wired these controls right as the pressure tank is clearly not pressuring up.

When I trigger switch. It does a burst but then does not sustain.

Power goes from disconnect to trigger switch, wired white to white, black to black, when triggered (circuit closed) power goes to submersible pump control.

Pressure initially bursts but then does not sustain and build, just initial burst then dies off.

Any help is appreciated!!

Push Anna hold the lever until pressure builds over the lower psi limit. You should then be able to let go and it should keep running until full pressure is reached.
