Photon, PlayFab, & Unity3D - Players not appearing to one another after joining Photon Room

Question

I am working on a multiplayer game in Unity which is using Playfab and the Authentication and Photon which is hosting the multiplayer. I can successfully get players into the same room and I can load the scene after players 'join' the room, however, when 2 players are in the same room, they can not see each other.

This is my authentication service:

public class LoginWithCustomID : MonoBehaviour
{
    private string _playFabPlayerIdCache;
    private bool _isNewAccount;
    private string _playerName;

    // Use this to auth normally for PlayFab
    void Awake()
    {
        PhotonNetwork.autoJoinLobby = false;
        PhotonNetwork.automaticallySyncScene = true;
        DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
        authenticateWithPlayfab();
    }

    private void authenticateWithPlayfab()
    {
        var request = new LoginWithCustomIDRequest
        {
            CustomId = "CustomId123",
            CreateAccount = true,
            InfoRequestParameters = new GetPlayerCombinedInfoRequestParams()
            {
                GetUserAccountInfo = true,
                ProfileConstraints = new PlayerProfileViewConstraints()
                { ShowDisplayName = true }
            }
        };
        PlayFabClientAPI.LoginWithCustomID(request, requestPhotonToken, OnLoginFailure);
    }

    private void requestPhotonToken(LoginResult result)
    {
        PlayerAccountService.loginResult = result;
        _playFabPlayerIdCache = result.PlayFabId;
        _playerName = result.InfoResultPayload.AccountInfo.TitleInfo.DisplayName;
        if (result.NewlyCreated)
        {
            _isNewAccount = true;
            setupNewPlayer(result);
        }

        PlayFabClientAPI.GetPhotonAuthenticationToken(new GetPhotonAuthenticationTokenRequest()
        {
            PhotonApplicationId = "photonId123"
        }, AuthenticateWithPhoton, OnLoginFailure);
    }

    private void setupNewPlayer(LoginResult result)
    {
        PlayFabClientAPI.UpdateUserData(
            new UpdateUserDataRequest()
            {
                Data = new Dictionary<string, string>()
                {
                    { "Level", "1" },
                    { "xp", "0" }
                }
            }, success =>
            {
                Debug.Log("Set User Data");
            }, failure =>
             {
                 Debug.Log("Failed to set User Data..");
             }
        );
    }

    private void AuthenticateWithPhoton(GetPhotonAuthenticationTokenResult result)
    {
        Debug.Log("Photon token acquired: " + result.PhotonCustomAuthenticationToken);
        var customAuth = new AuthenticationValues { AuthType = CustomAuthenticationType.Custom };
        customAuth.AddAuthParameter("username", _playFabPlayerIdCache);
        customAuth.AddAuthParameter("token", result.PhotonCustomAuthenticationToken);
        PhotonNetwork.AuthValues = customAuth;
        setNextScene();            
    }

    private void setNextScene()
    {
        if(_isNewAccount || _playerName == null)
        {
            SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync("CreatePlayerName", LoadSceneMode.Single);
        }
        else
        {
            SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync("LandingScene", LoadSceneMode.Single);
        }
    }

    private void OnLoginFailure(PlayFabError error)
    {
        Debug.LogWarning("something went wrong in auth login");
        Debug.LogError("Here's some debug info:");
        Debug.LogError(error.GenerateErrorReport());
    }

}

}

This all works and a player is logged into PlayFab, as well as Photon I would assume if I got the Photon auth token. This brings me to my landing scene, which is essentially a place for an authenticated user to click a button to join a random room via Photon:

public static GameManager instance;
public static GameObject localPlayer;

private void Awake()
{
    if (instance != null)
    {
        DestroyImmediate(instance);
        return;
    }
    DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
    instance = this;
    PhotonNetwork.automaticallySyncScene = true;
}

// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
    PhotonNetwork.ConnectUsingSettings("A_0.0.1");
}

public void JoinGame()
{
    RoomOptions ro = new RoomOptions();
    ro.MaxPlayers = 4;
    PhotonNetwork.JoinOrCreateRoom("Test Room 2", ro, null);
}

public override void OnJoinedRoom()
{
    Debug.Log("Joined Room!");
    if (PhotonNetwork.isMasterClient)
    {
        PhotonNetwork.LoadLevel("Test_Map1");
    }
}

private void OnLevelWasLoaded(int level)
{
    if (!PhotonNetwork.inRoom)
        return;

    localPlayer = PhotonNetwork.Instantiate(
        "Player",
        new Vector3(0, 1f, 0),
        Quaternion.identity,
        0);
}

public void LeaveRoom()
{
    PhotonNetwork.LeaveRoom();
    SceneManager.LoadScene("LandingScene", LoadSceneMode.Single);
}

This loads the scene that I named "Test_scene1" successfully and I show within my scene, the room name and number of active players in the room. When I do a run and build, I get a user's playerPrefab to load into the room. When I run the game through unity, I can get a second player to log into the room. The problem is, the players do not see eachother and I can not figure out why that is. I am following the PLayerfab/Photon tutorials on their respective sites, but I can't find anything that I did wrong in either one.

From what I read, it looks like my instantiate method might be wrong but I'm not sure why. Below is my player Prefab showing the components attached to it:

I apologize for this huge question, I just wanted to provide as much information as I could.
