angulartics2 custom events are sent to facebook but not to google analytics

I use angulartics2 with an angular7 project to fire events to facebook and google analytics.

I have facebook and google analytics configured using google tag manager.

the problem is my custom events are fired and sent to facebook but not to google analytics.

below the <head> tag I have the google tag manager code.

in the main component typescript file I added the following code:

constructor(
 private angulartics2GoogleTagManager: Angulartics2GoogleTagManager,
 private angulartics2Facebook: Angulartics2Facebook,
 private angulartics2GoogleAnalytics: Angulartics2GoogleAnalytics
 ) {
 this.angulartics2Facebook.startTracking();
 this.angulartics2GoogleTagManager.startTracking();
 this.angulartics2GoogleAnalytics.startTracking();
...

for example when people add items to cart I want to fire an event about it.

so in my cart service I inject angulartics2 in the constructor:

 constructor(@Inject(LOCAL_STORAGE) private storage: StorageService,
 private angulartics2: Angulartics2
 )

and then where it's relevant I fire the event with the following code:

 this.angulartics2.eventTrack.next(action: 'addToCart', properties: category: 'Cart', label: keyName, value: quantity);

using facebook pixel chrome extension I can see that the custom event is detected, using google events chrome extension I can see that no event is detected.

what am I missing? what I didn't configure properly?

google analytics is configured properly in google tag manager, I do see users count and page views count properly.

any information regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

update

some more investigation information thanks to @XTOTHEL.

so in the app.component.ts constructor I only enabled google tag manager to start tracking.

unfortunately google tag manager is not detecting any events being fired.

attached a screenshot of google tag manager console after adding stuff to the cart and the angulartics2 code of adding addToCart custom event being fired.

If you've setup your tags within GTM, I don't think you would only need to use angulartics2GoogleTagmanager.startTracking(); and not the rest. Can you show a screen capture of the tags within GTM for FB and GA and the triggers associated with each?

@XTOTHEL - i'm guessing i'm missing something... do I need to pre-configure the custom events i'm about to send with angulartics2 in the GTM admin page ? where exactly ?

Can you show me an output of GTM’s debug console when you tigger an event?
