I'm putting together a version of Tloques' cursed berserker battleaxe from Shrine of Tamoachan. As I understand it, to add a bonus to attack and damage for a weapon, you add a modifier and select Bonus for type, Magic for subtype, and put the number you want in Fixed Value. I put in 2. After I save everything and add it to a my character, it shows the attack and damage modifier as negative 2 rather than +2.
I've tried using the template for the berserker battleaxe and for the +2 battleaxe. Both have the same problem.
Am I missing something super obvious? Anyone have any ideas?
I have tried it on several characters and found that the strength modifier for each character will be added to the 1d8 slashing, but the +2 damage from the battleaxe itself isn't being shown. For example, I added it to the inventory of a character with a +0 to strength, and the damage for the battleaxe shows as 1d8 (instead of 1d8+2). I added it to a character who has a -2 to strength, and it shows up as 1d8-2 (instead of 1d8).

Not sure if it can be viewed by anyone, but here's the item: https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/331339-tloques-battleaxe-2
How much is the STR modifier of your character?

Did you attune to the item?
Ah, duh, I knew I was missing something obvious! Nope, I did not have it attuned! That was the problem, thanks for the help!
