have you checked the addressed on a blockchain explorer?
I looked this up for you specifically for Electrum.
Steps to Import a 24-Word BIP39 Seed into Electrum
Open Electrum
Launch the app and choose “File → New/Restore” to create a new wallet.
Name Your Wallet
Enter a name and click Next.
Select Wallet Type
Choose the wallet type:
Standard wallet (for single key)!!
Choose “I already have a seed”
Select that option and click Next.
Paste Your 24-Word Seed
Now here’s the trick:
Paste or type your 24-word BIP39 seed.
THEN, check the box below that says:
“Options” → “BIP39 seed”
Click Next
Electrum will recognize it as a BIP39 seed and let you continue.
Choose Script Type (Derivation Path)
Electrum will ask what kind of wallet you want:
Legacy (P2PKH): m/44'/0'/0'/0
Native SegWit (P2WPKH): m/84'/0'/0'/0
Nested SegWit (P2SH-P2WPKH): m/49'/0'/0'/0
Or Custom derivation path
If you're unsure and want modern addresses (bc1), use:
m/84'/0'/0'/0
Wallet Loads
Electrum will scan the keys and generate addresses based on your chosen derivation.
Bear in mind that you CANNOT lose anything if this doesn't work out but I sure hope it does.
