Add A Row is timing out when adding from "When Row is Added..."

I have a table called punchcards that I have created a triggered flow when a row is added.  I want to add a new row to a child table called punchcarditems.  I have a lookup column in punchcarditems on the GUID of punchcards.  I originally could not get the correct format to get the GUID with the dreaded "URL" message, but now have that corrected.  But, when it tries to add the punchcarditems row, the flow hangs, and eventually times out.  I cant figure out why because if I manually add the row in punchcarditems using a value GUID from punchcards, it works fine.  Below are pictures of my flow.  Note, I hard coded the GUID just to see if I could get it to work but it still does not.  The actual code I use is

    for some reason I created a new table, duplicated the flow, and it is not hanging now.  I have another issue but will log another request.
