Why isn't my timer showing?

I've recently installed a countdown timer app on my Shopify store, but for some reason, the timer isn't displaying correctly. I've followed the installation instructions, but when I visit my product pages, the timer is either completely missing or not functioning as expected. This is frustrating because I want to create a sense of urgency for my customers and drive more conversions. I need to understand the potential reasons why my timer might not be showing up and how to troubleshoot this issue effectively.
