However when I try to open it on the kindle, it says the file cannot be read.

Are there settings I need to select in order to properly convert ePUB to AZW3 for a manga volume? I don’t think KCC is relevant here, as it seems to be converting into ePUB rather than from ePUB to AZW3, though I might be wrong there.

A light novel I tried converting at the same time seems to have uploaded fine to my Kindle.
Calibre does not support fixed layout ePub conversion (to or from).

Use Send To Kindle. It should convert to AZW3 (which you can import to calibre).

If you want facing pages it needs to be KFX, side-loaded. You need to extract the images (e.g. with calibre book editor) then feed those to Kindle Create, generate a KPF, then convert to KFX using KFX Output plugin CLI. You can also add guided view or virtual panels, and Table of Contents with KC, and preview to verify it looks the way you want it.
