Cannot Sync bookmarks between two apps on the same device

So, I have been struggling to figure out how to send all my bookmarks from the Firefox app on android to Firefox Nightly app. I attempted to sync via email, but when I do, it signs me in and sends me to the basic account page with no options to sync. I attempted to sign in via browser, but all that did was sync my tabs from my desktop browser and not the app itself. Is it really that hard to send bookmarks from one app to another, or am I just overcomplicating things?

Thank you for checking, the instructions to obtain logs for investigation on errors are below:

How do I turn on sync logs: 1. Open about:config and turn on: services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess and services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks 2. Restart Firefox and look at: about:sync-log 3. Logs and error messages will be located here It is possible to copy and paste log examples into a post or use https://pastebin.mozilla.org thank you.
