Thanks to those who checked in to offer assistance. The issue has been resolved. Although the USB-C specification is "standard", there are many varieties of USB-type-C connectors which differ in SMT, TH or a combination of SMT and TH connection types. The connector I chose (SMT/TH combo) was difficult to solder and as a result some of the SMT pads were not soldered properly. Once rectified, the circuit worked as expected.
