Shape hints/tween not working as expected

Question

Hello so I drew a shape as part of a figure, the shape is on it's own layer independent of the rest of the figure.

I added a shape tween to the shape but before even touching the shape, this weird 'artifacting' happens as if the vertices are trading positions.

I tried adding 'shape hints' but what they instead did was make the shape disappear entirely during the transition. This time they didn't, but they still didn't work.

If shape hints are added correctly they turn green.

Start with only one hint, add it to a point which have the least offset. Make sure it snaps (the magnet in Properties has to be active) and make sure it turns green.

Check the tween.

Then add another hint and check. The direction should be counter clock-wise.

The aim should be to get the job done with the fewest possible hints.

Often one or two is all that is needed.
