This is the Link to my affected character. I am playing the Icewindale: Rime of the Frostmaiden. I picked up a Horned Fiddle Magical Item. I had to custom create it, but I do not know how to get the program to allow me to Attune it to my P.C.

The Item is Horned Fiddle, Abigail (I named it Abigail)
Attunement slots are at the bottom of the equipment page. Any item that requires attunement and is equipped will be listed there with a check box to attune it.

When you look at it on your character sheet and the sidebar slides out, at the bottom where you see the “equip” and “remove” buttons, once it is equipped a third ”attune” button will appear.
Thanks, dude, but since this instrument is considered "Other Gear" or "Basic Gear" I cannot equip it, which doesn't make sense to me because I have to "Attune" to it?1
I'm aware of "I did something wrong"! But I don't know where I went wrong! Lol! What I did was from my character sheet: 1) Clicked on Manage Equipment 2) Clicked on Custom Item 3) Create new Item 4) Created said Item
HOLY COW! Thank you for the link! I'll explore it more when I get the chance to do so! I have an important dr.'s appointment this am!

Creating custom equipment is not designed for creating magic items, thus the reason you can't attune it. But as you have discovered, the link Sposta gave you will get you on the right track. Sposta is one of our local homebrew experts, so if you run into difficulties homebrewing the item, post in the homebrew forum and Sposta or someone else can help you.
Have you enabled Homebrew Content in the character's HOME | Preferences?
If so, did you only just recently make that homebrew? It can take up to 20 minutes for homebrew changes to percolate to character sheets, so it's likely available now. Try reloading the character sheet.
If still no, is that Shield in your Homebrew Collection? Even if it's one of your Creations, it needs to be in your Collection to show up as an option to add to a character.

Well, I have no idea how you created it, but you didn’t do it correctly if you can’t equip it:
