I figured out my mistake! I found the answer here on OCC I copied it below

Just so you know, when you test your internal brakes, you have to do it with both wheels on the ground. If you have it jacked up, the wheels will just turn freely, but in opposite directions. The internal pucks stop the axle, but before the differential.

I took it off the jack stands and I now have brakes! I feel stupid now, but learned something! It has to be on the ground or you cannot get the brakes to engage!
