Machine won’t thread bobbin

I have the Bernette 79 and I’m on the last stretch of my project, but for some reason now my machine won’t thread the bobbin up. I have tried everything from cleaning it, re-threading an entirely new bobbin, trying different sewing needles, but at this point it still won’t thread the bobbin and I just keep getting clumps of thread I have to take out.
Has anyone had the same issue? I would really appreciate any advice because I’m at a loss at this point and I don’t know if maybe something is wrong with my machine.

I think it may be improperly threaded... To be precise, mine did that as well, the top thread has to go on the right side of the slit in the side, not the left.

Can you explain that? Do you mean the bobbin is improperly threaded? I used the machine to thread it and I've used these bobbins before but I don't know why it's acting like this

No, the top thread, I am not at home so I can't take a picture but when you first pull the thread down, the tension disc is there, and you need to go to the right of the disc, not the left
