It almost sounds like you have a "wireless" system that relies on line of sight flashes, and isnot radio controlled.  It is what it is.

That's the thing I ttl works but does absolutely nothing to the image. Manual doesn't work at all and then I plug it into my laptop to stack images and neither ittl or manual work

It's Neewer gear.  It is what it is.  If it does not work, take it up with them.

This is a Canon forum,  If third party products don't work with Canon gear it isn't Canon's job to see that they do. That would be an impossible task so you need to contact the third party manufacturer  It is possible you have set something incorrectly but Canon will not know that..

@ebiggs1 I'm sorry, I didnt expect "canon" to know? I was under thee assumption this was a trouble shooting forum, and had merely asked if anyone knew of a setup that worked and if it was possible to use 3rd party products successfully. Thanks

I know and I am sorry we are of no help.  Unless you happen to stumble on a forum user that happens to have the same set up I doubt you will get the info you require here, again sorry for that.

If you review the section in your camera's User Manual, it will refer you to the user manual for the external flash.  This is true for all of the DSLR cameras that Canon sells.
