It seems that some of the backgrounds that I have purchased are not showing up in my character creator. Am I missing something? Do i need to "activate" them or something?
There should be no activation. What backgrounds did you purchase? For example, if you bought the ravnica backgrounds, when you're on the first page of character creation, make sure that "Magic the Gathering" content is allowed. If they were the PHB backgrounds, they should definitely already be appearing.
Those are subclasses, so the way to choose them are by creating a level 3 fighter and selecting samurai and then a level 3 monk and selecting way of the kensei.
I'm having this problem, but with the Guild Artisan background. I have MTCG and Eberron content enabled. Why doesn't the Guild Artisan bg show in the dropdown? I hope I don't have to start over with my character.

You don’t need either of those enabled, you only need to purchase either the PHB or that specific background from this website.
I am also having this issue perhaps. I am seeing Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, that I own now, has cool backgrounds like City Watch, Clan Crafter, Faction Agent, Knight of the Order, ect, but I do not see those Backgrounds as options when creating a character.

Dragon Heist does not include those background: it provides you with more Waterdeep specific lore related to those backgrounds.....although I don’t see clan crafter or knight or the order listed as suggested backgrounds. Dragon Heist specifically says the backgrounds it list are from the Sword Coasts Adventurer’s Guide.

OK I am an idiot, they were actual classes not Backgrounds. But they still aren't showing up. I purchased the Samurai and the Way of the Kensei class.

I had already purchased it; the problem was I wasn't waiting 10 minutes for it to show up! Lol.
Oh! I missed that part. Thank you
