Thank you so much for the answers! Indeed, selecting EPSG:4326 did the trick. So simple! I could swear I'd tried it before, but I must have done something wrong. This community is fantastic! I hope I can reciprocate by helping others like I got helped today.

However, the image tiles are in the 3857 coordinate system. I would suggest that you choose the most appropriate local coordinate system for your project and then assign EPSG:4326 to your new layer, making sure that "on the fly" coordinate conversion is selected.

They were generated by a WordPress plugin (Gravity Forms Geolocation Add-on) and processed in R to generate a new CSV file with the latitude and longitude in Y and X columns, respectively. I tried to import them to QGIS using "Add delimited text layer..." and EPSG 3857, which I found online to be the EPSG of Google Maps. I now want to convert this layer / shape to UTM in order to integrate it with my other layers. The points are created correctly, apparently. When I check their coordinates and compare to the ranges of values in Google Maps, they seem ok. However, if I try to load another shapefile of the same location, it falls very far from the points. Similarly, If I try to load a map from QuickMapServices, it doesn't work: "/QuickMapServices: Failed to download all 1 files. - Google Satellite/". When I save the point shape to UTM (EPSG 31982) to check the coordinates, the values are not coherent with other shapes of the same location: Converted coordinates: What the coordinates should look like (approximate values): I also tried inverting the values of lat / long to x and y, to no avail. Any thoughts would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
