Aria Label

Aloha team!
I struggling to troubleshoot this accessibility issue.
I've added 'aria label' to some social media buttons (with 'Remove Text') ... but the labels are failing to show up in the code.
Here is a page with examples: https://sci.manoa.hawaii.edu/programs/library-and-information-science/
Funny enough ... these same assigned aria labels seem to work fine on buttons where 'Remove Text' is NOT checked.
Example of working labels is here (left column buttons): https://sci.manoa.hawaii.edu/rich-gazan/
Am I doing something wrong?
As always ... Much advice for any advice you can give :)

Hi Bill,
Just tested on my site with text removed, and the aria-label is showing correctly.

Can you try disable all plugins to eliminate conflicts? And make sure GB is up to date.
Let me know!
Aloha Ying,
Ahhh -- I think I got it :)
I set the buttons up using the Dynamic Data options in the WordPress sidebar, as opposed to using the Dynamic options that appear directly above a selected element.
^^ aria labels with this dynamic data setup were not working.

I reset all the dynamic options to the 'old' way and the aria labels now work perfectly :)
---------
Am I not using the sidebar dynamic data options correctly?
You the best :)
Thanks

Am I not using the sidebar dynamic data options correctly?
Ah I see, I can replicate this on my end.
It looks like a GB bug to me, we'll see :)
Thank you Bill!
The thanks are all mine to you ... I really appreciate your help Ying :)
It's always our pleasure to work with you :)
