Additional Specific Spells works differently for prepared-spell Classes (Cleric, Druid, Paladin, Artificer) and known-spell Classes. Prepared classes get those spells as Always Prepared, while non-prepared classes just get those spells added to their spell list - meaning that you still need to select them as Known Spells from the available spells you can learn.
Based on the spell list, I'm guessing that you're trying to replicate the Aberrant Mind Sorcerer? Unfortunately, that had to implemented in a different manner, using Spells added via a Subclass Feature, and it hasn't been able to be fully implemented as it should be. Someone around here posted a helpful video about using homebrew to do the Aberrant Mind Sorcerer, I'll try to find it...

Wow, it all makes sense now. Thanks a lot. It's been very confusing as a dndbeyond newbie and I really want to learn more about it. Thanks for the info, really appreciate it.

A lot of it is because what we use for homebrewing is a version of the tools DDB staff use themselves to input official material, so it wasn't designed with end users in mind.
One of the most useful things to do when starting out homebrewing is to find an official thing that does about what you'd like to accomplish, make a homebrew COPY of it, and see what Modifiers etc. were used to implement it.

So this is probably my first time creating a subclass and I just can't seem to add these spells to my sorcerer.
They're supposed to automatically be added and prepared to my character's spell list right? It just doesn't show up at all.
I tried this while creating a Cleric subclass and it works perfectly fine. Should I be doing something else first? or am I just doing something wrong?
I would really appreciate the feedback since I really want to make this work for my player in our upcoming campaign.
