My current HA looks like it's supposed to on the left bar of my pages and in forums. But on the V3 page anything outside of my HAs outline is solid black, and everything behind my HA is solid black, and that means my gorgeous new CW halo doesn't show.

Is it supposed to be like this now or is there something I'm not doing?

If you haven't seen the news already:

Q: My wardrobe has a black background! A: Go to the hair tab of the V3 wardrobe, and click on 'remove hair'. This will resolve your problem :)!

From here

thank you.

Apparently, this doesn't work because I started out bald? Ticket time.

I am sure I clicked the right button.

However going back there now after I see your post to double check, my HA doesn't show at all there's an endless spinny sunflower/doughnut.
