Stuck in Rocket Reef

I was almost finished with Rocket Reef and just completed the final task of building the rocket. But the game glitched when I kept adding to my rocket after it told me I completed the task (20 Rocket Essences) and skipped the cutscene for Vic going into space. I’ve talked to each character and they all say things like “wow! Can’t believe it worked” even though I didn’t see the launch they’re referring to. I cannot interact with the rocket to have it take me into space, either.

Nothing triggers the completion of the island and unlocking of the next two islands…. I don’t know what to do. I restarted my game, and the switch. I have moved characters, checked my tasks (everything is completed sans the fishing task and the science scroll with the 8-balls) and even rebuilt the rocket 3 times :( what should I do to unlock the next two islands? At this point I don’t even care about Vic’s figurine task. I just want to progress the story :((
