insertRule() not inserting rule but not giving any errors

I am trying to insert a style rule directly into the head of a document.

It inserts the style element but not the code itself. No errors or anything.

var thumbStyles = document.createElement("style"); 
    document.head.appendChild(thumbStyles);
    thumbStyles.sheet.insertRule(
    "figure#styleThumbs { \
    position: absolute; \
    left: 0px; \
    bottom: 0px; \
    } \
    ")
    thumbStyles.sheet.insertRule(
    "figure#styleThumbs img { \
    outline: 1px solid black; \
    cursor: pointer; \
    opacity: 0.75; \
    } \
    ")
    thumbStyles.sheet.insertRule(
    "figure#styleThumbs img:hover { \
    outline: 1px solid red; \
    opacity: 1.0; \
    } \
    ");

I also asked this question on FCC but have no answers

The inserted CSS is not displayed in the DOM, but it does work.

var thumbStyles = document.createElement("style"); 
document.head.appendChild(thumbStyles);
thumbStyles.sheet.insertRule(`#test{
background-color: dodgerblue;
}`);
<div id="test">
This is a test
</div>
