is there any switches in between? is it running from wall plates?
Have you taken a known good 6ft cable and just put the satellite next to the router and hardwired it in (to test if the backhaul connects)?

I ran a cat 6 cable from upstairs to the kids room and terminated the ends myself. I used a rj45 tester which passed the test.
There are no switches in between the router and the satellites.
The only thing I can think of doing is reterminating the 1st connector I did as maybe there is any issue not sure.

Just try moving the satellite first for testing. If it works, you know its the cable run and you can try replacing the ends. Most people have a spare 6ft cat 5e (or better) cable sitting around.
Its always good to test if its the cable or the satellite.

Ive moved the satallite upstairs it shows the connection as wired now backhaul status is out of sync for the sattelite so not sure what is going on with this as well.

So when you move it it shows as wired? You can factory reset the satellite and re-sync it and that should fix the error you have.
But it kind of indicates that the wiring that was ran has something wrong with it. You can recheck the ends.
