I have an 11 GHz bench set that goes in a 19" rack. I can hang a radio on either side and it lines up with a waveguide that converts to coax, has a variety of attentuators I can add or remove and then goes back to waveguide on the other side.

I have two links here waiting to go up, and I haven't been able to get them to link that way...

If it's not showing anything at all, it must not actually be linking, in which case it could be something configured wrong... like maybe a type in the key, or one of the frequencies is entered wrong. If all the config matches, the first thing I'd check would be the duplexor... but it sounds like you're already checking that.
