error message not visible after model validation in asp.net core 3

Question

I'm having issues with Model Validation. It doesn't show any errors when the ModelState contains errors. It sets focus to the first textbox (Firstname), but no visible error message.

Model, CreateSiteUserModel:

public interface ICreateSiteUserModel
{
    [Required]
    Guid SiteUId { get; set; }

    [Required(AllowEmptyStrings = false, ErrorMessage = "Skriv inn fornavn")]
    string Firstname { get; set; }

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Skriv inn etternavn")]
    string Lastname { get; set; }

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Skriv inn emailadresse")]
    [EmailAddress]
    string Email { get; set; }

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Skriv inn passord")]
    [StringLength(30, MinimumLength = 8, ErrorMessage = "Passordet må bestå av minst 8 tegn inkludert minst et tall")]
    string Password { get; set; }
}

public class CreateSiteUserModel : ICreateSiteUserModel
{
    public Guid SiteUId { get; set; }
    public string Firstname { get; set; }
    public string Lastname { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public string Password { get; set; }
}

Model, SiteModel:

public interface ISiteModel
{
    ISiteWrapper Site { get; set; }
    ICreateSiteUserModel SiteUserModel { get; set; }
}

public class SiteModel : ISiteModel
{
    public ISiteWrapper Site { get; set; }
    public ICreateSiteUserModel SiteUserModel { get; set; } = new CreateSiteUserModel();
}

Controller:

[HttpPost]
public async Task<IActionResult> Site([FromForm] CreateSiteUserModel model)
{
    IActionResult action = default;
    ISite site = await _sites.GetSite(model.SiteUId);

    if (this.ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        IdentityResult result = await _ident.CreateUser(site.Id, model.Email, model.Password);

        if (result.Succeeded)
        {
            IUser user = await this.DB.GetWorker<User>().Latest();

            action = RedirectToAction("EditSiteUser", "Identity", new { UId = user.UId });
        }
    }
    else
    {
        ISiteModel mdl = new SiteModel() { Site = new SiteWrapper(site, this.DB), SiteUserModel = model };

        action = View(mdl);
    }

    return action;
}

CSHTML:

@model ISiteModel

        <tr>
            <td style="width:140px;">

Answer 1

As @KirkLarkin suggested: remove Id and Name attributes - let helper generate values.

HTML:

<tr>
    <td style="width:140px;">
        <label asp-for="SiteUserModel.Firstname"></label>
    </td>
    <td>
        <input type="text" class="txt-light firstname" asp-for="SiteUserModel.Firstname" />
        <span class="error-msg color-danger" asp-validation-for="SiteUserModel.Firstname"></span>
    </td>
</tr>
