LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2: I2C comm never has successful transfer

I am new to I2C communication and I have made the following code to interface with a TI DAC7571. I have everything wired correctly and have made an initial code to only transmit signal.ampAC for now. The code seems correct to me but I still don't know why I can't get a successful transfer with I2C_Transfer(). Could anybody help me gain some insight as to what exactly is going wrong? CCS Cloud doesn't kick out any errors, it just never transfers the data. Sorry for the semi-messy code; it's obviously still a work in progress. Thanks in advance.
