Mark A. so it looks like you may have not started this project with the cloned style guide because I dont see any of the variables in there. Not a huge deal really because you can just assign the colors that are missing to any existing variables you have. In my screenshot, I am showing you that basically because the variables didn't exist - when you pasted the component in, the background color value is blank - thus transparent. If you reset this, and then choose one of your variables - it should work fine.
