Your visual manifest only specifies a 150x150 image. You need to specify both:

Important If you opt for a custom image, you must specify an image for both the Square150x150Logo and Square70x70Logo attributes. If you specify only one of those attributes, this entire XML file is ignored and the default styling (app icon and background) is applied to the tile.

I created a sample and specified both images, and it works fine for me.

Also, don't forget to refresh the shortcut:

Step 7: Important! Refresh your shortcut file

If your app is already installed, you must nudge your shortcut after the new or updated .VisualElementsManifest.xml is in place or it will be ignored.
