I am using auto cylinder on a hole on these parts I'm working on. Then I hit F9 to go back into the feature and select the "Auto Wrist", then click "OK", and it does nothing. The window that supposed to pop up and show suggested wrist angle isn't showing up. What am I doing wrong? It shouldn't have anything to do with the funky compound angle alignment that I'm using to measure the hole, should it?

It might just be the software version I'm running (2020 R1 SP13), but I often have the same problem. It won't calculate/suggest a different probe angle unless the current probe angle is more than 50 degrees or so different than the optimal angle for the feature being programmed.
What I often end up doing is inserting a clearly wrong probe angle command, like tangent to a hole I want to measure, then use the auto feature dialog to create a circle and it will then suggest an optimal probe angle. When I click ok to use the suggested angle the clearly wrong probe angle command I inserted gets replaced/updated. It works, but it can be a pain if I have a lot of holes to measure on a highly contoured surface (every hole has a different vector).
I have tried to look for some sort of setting to adjust this, but I haven't had any luck. On the 'Part/Machine' tab of the 'Setup Options dialog' window there is an option labeled 'Wrist warning delta'. I had hoped that making that setting smaller would help, but it doesn't seem apply to auto features in that manner (at least when programming offline - never played with it online).
