Lack of song track numbers when renaming

I've been renaming my files using the following script:
When using it and having it pull from ID3 Tags it seems to no longer add the track number after my last couple of tries while in version 5.1.2 and 5.1.3
I have provided a link below with the screenshot of my FileBot sysinfo and a picture of what the track renaming looks like when I run the script from above.

The gdrive links are not public. Please make them public or share
screenshots via your preferred image host.
What is the
MediaInfo table for a file where
{pi} does not work? The
{pi} will typically give you the
Track/Position property, so it'll work / not work depending on the existence of that property.

Apologies for that with the screenshots I had a feeling that might occur, I have added the MediaInfo with the others and made them public for viewing. Tried to upload and share them through imgur and it wouldn't show up properly on the board when using the proper img code.

The MediaInfo has 'pi', but not 'pi.pad' but when changing my script to point at 'pi' it still didn't seem to work.

{pi} is the value, e.g.
1.
{pi.pad(2)} pads
{pi} with 2 leading zeros, e.g.
01.
This screenshot shows sample data,
not real data based on your real files:
You'll want to use
Double-Click ➔ Edit Format in
New Names after generating matches to prototype your format with real match information:
Do share the
MediaInfo table for the file at hand
(you may need click 
to select a Media File first) via the
Copy to Clipboard button as instructed in
How do I share MediaInfo properties? please:

Your files are tagged badly. You may want to use tools like
MusicBrainz Picard to fix the ID3 tags.
Part/Position refers to the
"medium index", i.e. the CD number.
Track/Position refers to the
"track number". The latter is undefined in the ID3 tags at hand and so
{pi} does not work for this file:
Properties: Select all
Title : All Of Your Weapons - Sultan + Shepard VIP Mix
Album : Echoes Of Life: Day
Album/Performer : Sultan + Shepard
Part/Position : 1
Part/Position_Total : 1
You can access the
Part/Position property in your format directly like so:
viewtopic.php?t=4285
You will likely want to process both correctly tagged files and incorrectly tagged files
(i.e. use Track/Position if possible; otherwise use Part/Position instead) which can be done like so:
or this if you want to keep both CD and track number where both are available:
