What is the specific issue? Does it power on? What camera and/or trigger are you using to control it? Are you controlling via radio or line-of-sight?

In addition to Ricky's questions, have you confirmed that it works correctly when on the camera hotshoe?

When I have it connected to my R6 the flash doesn't go off

Please, you'll really need to be more specific.  How do you have it connected? In the hot shoe?  But by the title of your post, you mention "off camera".  So are you triggering it via optical line of sight or radio? And with what specific trigger?  Again, you need to provide details in order to help you.

Sorry man I don't mean to cause trouble it in the hot shoe do you want to see the video 

So on the camera it won't flash? The confusion is that your thread title says off camera.

Does it flash if you fire the test button? (I.e. separate a flash problem from a camera problem).

It's a off camera flash  instead of a in camera flash 

If you have the flash physically connected to the camera's hot shoe, it is ON camera.  Only when you have the flash not connected to the hot shoe is it considered OFF camera.  And off-camera can be controlled in one of many ways to include a sync cable, built-in flash to be an optical trigger, master flash in the hot shoe to be a trigger (optical or radio), or a dedicated radio trigger in the hot shoe such as an ST-E3-RT.
