[Fixed] Weird Wireguard issues I could use some help with. (lemmy.procrastinati.org)

I've hit a wall with a weird Wireguard issue. I'm trying to connect my phone (over cell) to my home router using wireguard and it will not connect.

The keys are all correct.
The IPs are all correct.
The ports are open on the firewall.
My router has a public IP, no CGNAT.

The router is opnsense, I have a tcpdump session going and when I attempt a connection from the phone I see 0 packets on that port. I am able to ping the router and reach the web server sitting behind it from the phone.

I have a VPS that I configured WG on and the phone connects fine to that. I also tested configuring the VPS to connect to my home router and that also works fine.

I'm really at a loss as to where to go next.

Edit 2: I completely blew out the config on both sides and rebuilt it from scratch, using a different UDP port, and it all appears to be working now. Thanks for everyone's help in tracking this down.

Edit: It was requested I provide my configs.

opnsense:

Netcat can do UDP with -u flag, to get netcat on the phone (android) you could try local shell (Connect Bot app can do it) and try calling the local netcat (nc, though it's a simple busybox implementation so it might not have all the features). Not sure if it would let you send udp just like that.
