First of all, you need to check the manifest file for any ribbon UI customizations. If ribbon buttons are not listed there, you will never find them on the UI.

Also checked the disabled and inactive addins but the taskpane is nowhere to be found.

It seems you have checked the list of COM add-ins, not web add-ins in Outlook. On the Home tab you may find the Get Add-ins button which opens the Add-ins dialog where if clicking on the My Add-ins tab on the left side of the window you may find your add-in listed. If it is not listed there you need to add it by pointing to the manifest file. Before doing that you need to make sure the web server where the add-in is hosted is running and files are accessible.
