The fonts do have some user manuals that may help:

Did you position the placeholders for the data marge on a master page?

I would recommend doing this on a regular document page…

( Just my intuition… )

I can plug-in the data to data merge and change the type to discretionary ligatures but I continue to only get a black triangle and not the whole circle if that makes sense.

This is how far I have gotten;

Your results are showing that all values of the pie chart are applied black. For this to be automated, you will need to use a paragraph style that is black color for pie chartwell, and includes a grep style that will apply a character style to the first value of pie (tint of black) plus the center value (+G) to make it white/paper.
