I finally got the Azure Flute and made my way up to spear pillar, but once I made it up... No text box prompting me to use it, I go in the item bag and it says that it doesn't work. I've tried using it on the first square thing after entering on spear pillar but nothing. I have transferred Arceus in from PLA before, but I put it back in home and I haven't seen anyone else with this problem. Am I doing something wrong?

Did you catch the box legend, enter the hall of fame, and obtain the National Dex in BDSP? Did you try taking more steps forward?
Does this count as not responding to clarifying questions?
I think this is answerable by listing all the requirements for Azure Flute to work as OP must be missing one. You can find plenty of people online having the same problem. I actually think Fish's comment suffices as an answer.

In the Sinnoh-based games, the player can only use the Azure Flute once they have caught DialgaDBD or PalkiaPSP, entered the Hall of Fame, and obtained the National Pokédex. When the player reaches the Spear Pillar at the top of Mount Coronet and steps one tile north from the entrance, they will be prompted to use the flute, which will play a unique and eerie tune and reload the Spear Pillar map with a steep staircase that leads to the Hall of Origin.

Based on your description, you likely haven't caught the box legend (Dialga/Palkia), entered the Hall of Fame, obtained the National Dex, and/or aren't taking enough steps in Spear Pillar. If you've fulfilled all the requirements for the flute to work, then a prompt should ask you to use the flute the first step forward after you enter Spear Pillar. If you don't get the prompt, then you haven't fulfilled one of the requirements. If you've defeated the box legend, they will respawn after you defeat the Pokemon League and enter the Hall of Fame. If you haven't obtained the National Dex, you do that by seeing all the Pokemon in the base Sinnoh Dex, then talking to professor Rowan in Sandgem Town.

Hope this helped and good luck catching Arceus.
