The shape is invisible until I click on it, then i can see the path of the shape, if i click off it goes away, any ideas as ti whatI need to do to see it, thanks?
The screenshots are before and after clicking on the shape, and the bottom yellow pic is the ai file before i clicked create shape layer from vector layer.

This is expected behavior with respect to viewing Shape/Mask Paths — they only appear after a layer is selected. Otherwise, you'll get a messed up Comp Panel with tonnes of paths.
It looks like you applied the Create Shape from Vector Layer feature to convert your AI file to Shape Layers. During this process, AE will have issues with Artboards from AI and open paths. To rectify this issue, you have to dive into the Shape Layer's Contents section to select each path, to see which paths are causing the issue. It's a good idea to disable the view of ALL paths and enable one at a time while you're searching/rectifying the problem. You will have to delete extraneous/redundant paths during this process. For open paths, occasionally, the Fill Shape Operator gets wrongly applied and you will have to disable the Fill Shape Operator.
This is a cumbersome procedure if you have a complex AI file - be patient. If you perform a lot of AI to Shape Layer routines, you will want to invest in the Overloard Script from https://www.battleaxe.co/overlord
