The log and the screenshots suggest that you do not have any books on the device that have series information in your calibre library. There does seem to be one series on the device. This is "Innkeeper Chronicles" and is there for a purchased book. But, that might be for a preview or recommendation as it isn't in the series list.

In the log looks, it looks like you are trying to use the Kobo Utilities plugin to update the metadata for a book called "Educated". But, that book does not appear to have series information. Hence, nothing will be updated on the device. And even if it did, it is a purchased kepub, and it is being skipped as you have not selected the option to update purchased kepubs.

At this point, what I suggest is:
  1. Set the series information correctly for a book in your library.
  2. Send the book to the device.
  3. Eject the device and let it import the book.
  4. Reconnect the device
  5. After the device jobs have finished, make sure the book is matched to the library (it has the green tick).
  6. Eject the device.

At this point, the series info should be there. It should show under the title in the book list, and there should be an entry in the series list.

If that hasn't worked, I will need to see the debug log again. Before doing this, in the driver configuration, go to the "Metadata, on device & advanced" tab and in the "Title to test when debugging" field, enter the title of the book you used to test above. The run calibre in debug mode and send me the debug log from that.
