Pi-hole not blocking ads on connected devices

[Hori]

I often use my phone as a hotspot, and today I decide to try and use pi-hole since it does look interesting. The setup I'm going for is
Linux (mint) Laptop: Hosting pi-hole
Phone: Internet provider
Windows Laptop/Phone: Clients

So I did the installation and use the DHCP within pi-hole, I tested it and my laptop does use the IP address from pi-hole like the image below.

However based on what I read on several discussion after 4 hours of trying to get this to work, I assume I'm supposed to see something when using nslookup pi.hole, but I see none.

I tried to open any website and it indeed doesn't block any ads. No matter what I do from the windows laptop, or the linux laptop in that matter, doesn't get added/intercepted in the logs at all. I'm pretty lost as of now, my brain can't handle this at 4AM.

I'm pretty new at these things so I appreciate the help, and here's my debug token.

As a side note, you might see an ethernet connection warning in the debug, disregard that, I don't use ethernet, it's just a crossover cable for extended monitor stuff.

Your debug log shows your router is advertising itself (192.168.117.132) as DNS server, but Pi-hole is 192.168.117.172.

      router: 192.168.117.132
      dns-server: 192.168.117.132

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Networking
[✓] IPv4 address(es) bound to the wlp2s0 interface:
    192.168.117.172/24

Your router doesn't know the name pi.hole and you see the "Non-existent domain" message.

Change the DNS to 192.168.117.172 in your router and renew the DHCP lease in your devices. Then try again.

Alright so I manually set the dns on windows and use pihole's IP address and it does work now, but it's not using the DNS automatically. I'm not sure what the 132 one is but it's probably my phone, and I don't think I can stop it from advertising itself since it's hotspot and all. So I assume I can only use pihole by setting the DNS server manually on the clients?.
