Meteor: Autoform not submitting posts to mongo

I am new to meteor and autoform and am trying to get a form to insert into mongo. No matter what I have changed it just will not work. I have no idea what to try next.

I have removed insecure and autopublish. Attached is a link to my .js and my html file.

I have setup a scheme, gotten the form to show on the html perfectly. now when I hit submit nothing is being put into mongo. I have allow rules setup. I have a ton of console.logs displaying and they all trigger and follow along as if the post was successful. In fact in the onSuccess I get a document number yet there is nothing in my DB.

Any help here is greatly appreciated. I know it must be something small here but I have racked my brain for hours of endless searching.

.js file without the scheme. Full js file in the plnkr link

if (Meteor.isClient) {
    // ********************************************************
    // ***   Creating the database scheme for the customer account
    // ********************************************************
    customers = new Mongo.Collection("customer");
    AutoForm.debug();
    var postHooks = {
        before: {
            insert: function(doc) {
                console.log("Getting to posting hooks");
                if(Meteor.userId()){
                    doc.createdUser = Meteor.userId();
                    doc.createdDate = Date();
                    console.log("Got to the insert before hook!");
                }
                return doc;
            }
        },
        after: {
            // Replace `formType` with the form `type` attribute to which this hook applies
            insert: function(error, result) {
                console.log("Getting to the after insert function");
                console.log(error);
                console.log(result);
                console.log("New Document ID is " + this.docId);
            }
        },
        onSuccess: function(formType, result) {
            console.log("Getting to the insert sucess area");
            console.log(result);    
        },
        onError: function(formType, error) {
            console.log(error);
        }
    }
    AutoForm.addHooks('insertCustomer', postHooks);
    Template.customerTemplate.helpers({
        showLoginError: function(){
            return showCustomerSaveError;
        }
    });
}


if (Meteor.isServer) {
    customers = new Mongo.Collection("customer");
    customers.allow({
        insert: function (userId, doc) {
            console.log("Getting to the insert server call");
            // the user must be logged in
            return !! userId;
        },
        update: function (userId, doc, fields, modifier) {
            // can only change your own documents
            return doc.owner === userId;
        },
        remove: function (userId, doc) {
            // can only remove your own documents
            return doc.owner === userId;
        },
        fetch: ['owner']
    });

}

You're adding the file to the database but not publishing it. Run meteor add autopublish or check in MongoDB itself to see the document.
