The extras tab of the character sheets do not seem to let me add a sidekick start block unless I remove the "follow rules" option and then it doesn't let me add a sidekick class or modify then in any way.
The first thing to know is that the sidekicks currently available in the Extras menu are not the sidekicks from Tasha’s, but those from Dragon of Icespire Peak.
If you are wanting to use Tasha’s sidekick rules, the best bet at the moment is to homebrew a “monster” using an existing “monster” as a template, and then adding it to the extras menu as a “miscellaneous” creature, NOT as a sidekick.
If you are wanting to use the sidekicks from Dragon of Icespire Peak, you should be able to add those if you have purchased that adventure/redeemed the code in the box, or if the content is being shared with you. Is that the case?
To modify the DOIP sidekicks, I’m pretty sure you will need to make a homebrew copy of them and make modifications there.

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

That totally makes sense, thank you. I did assume it was pulling from Tasha's.
