PHP WordPress function / module display issue?

one text

I'm working in an environment in VS Code and running my work on a sever with npm run watch command. I am referencing the files themselves in my functions.php file, I can choose the module in the wordpress admin panel, but I cannot actually get my 'testimonials_1' field to pop up on the preview page. That's the only piece I'm trying to get right now.

My functions file

<?php
function module_testimonials_acf() {
    return array(
        'key' => 'testimonials_module',
        'name' => 'testimonials_module',
        'label' => 'Testimonials',
        'display' => 'block',
        'sub_fields' => array(
            array(
                'key' => 'testimonials_repeater_1',
                'name' => 'testimonials_repeater_1',
                'label' => 'First Testimonial',
                'type' => 'repeater',

                'return_format' => 'array',
                'required' => 0,
