I have what I think is a very simple task but can't seem to get my triggers to work properly.

I have a group form which includes file uploads. These attachments are stored in an autogenerated file within the group sharepoint. I simply want to set up a flow that will move these attachments to a different folder once they are added via a form submission. I've tried using the "When a file is created" sharepoint trigger, but it is not triggering when the form is submitted and a new attachment is added to the folder.

You could create a flow to trigger when a new file is created and then do the Move file action. That's a very simple flow, but you would lose the link to the form response.

Thanks Will! That would work as an alternative, but is there a simpler way to just move the files from the group SharePoint site as they are added to a different folder within the same SharePoint site?

You can follow my article here: https://willpage.dev/2021/06/01/processing-microsoft-forms-file-upload-in-power-automate/

The only difference is the location of the files is the owner group's SharePoint site instead of the form owner's OneDrive. But otherwise identical.
