There is room on my homescreen but still no luck, could I ask what kind of launcher you use?

I tried Opera a while back since I'm looking for an alternative for chrome and opera sounded quite nice with the data-saving and the builtin add-block.
However I am not able to use a specific feature which I use a lot on chrome so I can't really switch..

The "Add to home screen" feature shos a popup where I can change the name all good so far, but when I click on the add option I see a toast message saying the site had been added to my homescreen, however when I check my homescreen nothing is added. I tried it with a few different launchers (also the stock google now) but no success. I am running android 8.0.0 on a Nexus 6P.

Someone has any idea how to solve this issue? Or can it be android 8 related?
