Path not showing in composition

Hi everyone.  I'm having a strange issue with animating a shape layer's path.   I am attempting this tutorial where I am animating shape layers using the "Contents"- "Path" keyframe/editor.  Below screenshot is the tutorial.  When he selects the keyframe (in comp) for "I", the Blue I in the window shows these tiny points indicating that the Shape Path is selected.  Whenever I select the blue keyframe for my shape layer "J"  in my own project (second screenshot), there is no Path selection at all.  When I do select the keyframe and then move the letter's position just the "Position" parameters change.  How can I get the "Path" to be selected?  I've attempted to do this in Ae 2022 and 2023 Versions.

Check the composition viewer settings from the fly out menu (triple fits) and turn on show paths.
