Wild shape macros all not working

Recently I have been playing a Moon Druid and have worked for awhile to make sure everything related to my wild shapes is all set up thanks to some work and extra time spent on Roll20 (and I am using the default Roll20 character sheets btw). Things seemed to be working up until the day came for me to actually use my wild shapes.    Basically stuff like this appears whenever I try to make a saving throw or use an NPC attack or make an ability check, which makes it basically impossible to do anything on my own with the NPC character sheets I use for the wild shapes. The ability in question I used for the screenshot was the Tiger's bite attack. Oddly it does work when what I am outputting is the creature trait, but even then it still comes out a little weird . Another weird fact is that when my DM does tries to use these same macros in the way that I try to, it actually works for him. So during the session he had to make the attacks for my character and not me. This isn't a crazy horrific thing, but it would be nice to get this issue solved.

Do you have permissions on the WildShape creature sheets? The DM needs to enable this in addition to Journal visibility. And what macro are you using to try to trigger bite? Or are you clicking on the NPC sheet?
Yeah when I talk about using the macros, I am speaking about opening up the NPC beast character sheet and left clicking on the thing that says (as an example) "Bite" in the sheet to produce and output in the chat. I have permissions to see the sheet in the journal AND to edit it.

Were any of these creatures already in the game when the DM added your Wildshape versions? Try renaming it to Tiger WS and see what happens. Also, does %{selected|repeating_npcaction_$0_npc_action} give the same result as clicking on the sheet? You'll need a token representing the creature selected to run it. Is it the same issue with every Wildshape creature you've got available?
BROOOOO WHATT. I added WS at the end of the character sheet and it worked xd      Makes sense, too because that very day I worked with my DM to get the statblocks for the beasts I could summon from Conjure Animals. Further evidence is that I have a Giant Raven statblock I can turn into, but it DOES work without changing the name of the character sheet because I didn't include the Giant Raven as one of the things I could summon with Conjure Animals.      Thanks fam.

Yeah, I've got renamed versions of everything I can summon/wildshape into, just so I can change the default tokens (put a tint on them and rename them) without messing up any NPCs, and to avoid the weird stuff that can happen when you try to put two of the same creature into the Journal.
giving the tokens a tint is actually a good idea. Only the DM can change the tokens themselves so that will have to be worked on, but otherwise things are very good.      Thanks extra extra, fam.
