Not sure what's happening with my Dell PowerConnect 5548... help!

I am pulling my hair about this and it's making no sense.

I have two Dell switches 1x PowerConnect 5548 and 1x PowerConnect 5524P. they are stacked using HDMI. When I plug in my HPE ML350 Gen9 port 1-4 (ILO seems fine) to any of the 5548 ports it always show it's down. However, when I plug it to the PowerConnect 5524 it lights up. Here is the twist to the story. I plug another device to same port from the ML350 it works just fine.

ex. if I plug in to port g1/0/11 from the ML350 it stays off. Plug another device to the same g1/0/11 works just fine. Plug the ML350 to g2/0/14 works just fine. plug the ML350 to g1/0/28 same thing no lights, plug another device on g1/0/28 works fine.

I don't have any ACL setup nor protection set... anything I might be missing or I need to check?

It does this even if I unstack them.
