When I have been looking online I have been seeing to many conflicting answers to whether or not the spell would work if a creature has paralysis immunity.
I don’t see how there are any conflicting answers at all. The spell does one thing, paralyze. Creatures immune to being paralyzed are IMMUNE to the one thing this spell does. The creature could be targeted by the spell and slots be wasted, but that’s it.
When I did a google search for "5e hold monster paralysis immune", most of the top results had to do with earlier editions of D&D like 3.5, which had much more complicated rules around paralysis (and many other things), and it can be hard for a new player to realize those rules don't apply to 5e.

It does not work on creatures immune to paralysis.
