Your .jtl file seems to have default configuration (apart this success column where values should be in lowercase)

Default "saveservice" properties look like:

C:\apps\jmeter\bin>type jmeter.properties | find "saveservice"
#jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=csv
#jmeter.save.saveservice.assertion_results_failure_message=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.assertion_results=none
#jmeter.save.saveservice.data_type=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.label=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.response_code=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data.on_error=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.response_message=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.successful=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_name=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.time=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.subresults=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.assertions=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.latency=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.connect_time=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.samplerData=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.responseHeaders=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.requestHeaders=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.encoding=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.bytes=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.sent_bytes=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.url=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.filename=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.hostname=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_counts=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.sample_count=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.idle_time=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.timestamp_format=ms
#jmeter.save.saveservice.timestamp_format=yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS
#jmeter.save.saveservice.default_delimiter=,
#jmeter.save.saveservice.default_delimiter=\t
#jmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.xml_pi=<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="../extras/jmeter-results-detail-report.xsl"?>
#jmeter.save.saveservice.xml_pi=
#jmeter.save.saveservice.base_prefix=~/
#jmeter.save.saveservice.autoflush=false

If you executed your test on one JMeter instance and try to generate the dashboard on another JMeter instance you need to ensure that these "saveservice" properties 100% match, otherwise you will face issues.

So double check jmeter.properties and user.properties files on both JMeter instances and make sure that you have the same results file configuration, once done you should be able to generate the dashboard successfully.
