Formatting differences between same templates.

I have been trying to get my Template:Infobox_country working for quite a while to no avail. I have imported all required templates from English Wikipedia, verified that the same extensions were enabled, but I still get vast formatting differences I can't explain. See here for comparison: Infobox country on Thaepedia and Same Infobox country on Wikipedia Added screenshots to see if the formatting was different on another device. Also, sorry to those I interacted with suggesting I use PortableInfoboxBuilder, but it was stuck in a state of permanent loading so pretty hard to use

After looking at the other support posts, I see that "I18n dataset" was pretty much the same problem as this one, but I don't see steps to solve the problem there

I looked for it in the extensions but couldn't find it, but it does show up in Special:Version

Ok, thanks At this point I'd be willing to use PortableInfobox but it's also unusable, Special:InfoboxBuilder loads forever

I do get these console errors though:

If I remember correctly, another wiki had issues with PortableInfobox loading forever. Let me see

Yeah it's this issue but it got solved kind of magically after unknown dev intervention Maybe an issue with extensions not loading properly, even though they show as loaded ?
