Brand New Firestick kodi addons not working

Hi guys i was wondering if you could help?

I bought a brand new firestick on the 26/27th of December for a friend, plan was to set up kodi for them on it.
I got kodi installed, i got addons installed, but none of the addons work.
I have tried reinstalling kodi on this numerous times and each time i get the same problem.
Last firestick before this was bought around the beginning of December and was a straight install and worked.
Each time i use abdlink and have also tried using the downloader app both with same result.

Is there anything on the new Firesticks that will prevent addons working ?

Thank you in advance guys
