No permissions found in Manifest [Android]

I have been trying various ways to call on my location data ranging from IP location API's to Flutter plugin's but have not been able to get accurate location data for any of them. Through all I have settled onto Geolocator. But I kept getting

I/flutter ( 5206): null
I/flutter ( 5206): GeolocationStatus.unknown

When calling it in my Init state as follows:

  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    fetchData();
  }


  fetchData() async {
    setState(() {
      isLoading = true; //Data is loading
    });
    GeolocationStatus geolocationStatus =
        await Geolocator().checkGeolocationPermissionStatus();
    position = await Geolocator()
        .getCurrentPosition(desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.high);
    if (position != null) {
      lastPosition = await Geolocator()
          .getLastKnownPosition(desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.high);
    }

    ...

    if (position != null)
      print(position);
    else
      print(lastPosition);

    print(geolocationStatus);

    setState(() {
      isLoading = false; //Data has loaded
    });
  }

After some research I decided to settle on permission_handler to try to check permissions. I declared PermissionStatus _status added the following lines to my fetchData() function:

PermissionHandler()
        .checkPermissionStatus(PermissionGroup.location);

To which I get No permissions found in manifest for: 3 My manifest has the permissions to the best of my understanding. Manifest file: https://gist.github.com/Purukitto/640d1637c05bdb1b69cc4309947c45d5

From what I understand adding the permissions to the Manifest should add the permission option at least to the app, but after building and installing the app there are "No permissions" for my app(Screenshot attached).

What could be the problem. I have tried to mention all relevant things. Any insight will be really helpful.
