Save feature class as lyrx file - ArcPy (ArcGIS Pro)

Business_IntelligenceSoftware

I have a python script that finds the feature class with the highest count for a field called 'SUM_USER_VisitCount' and then creates the symbology I specify. What I then want to do is save this feature class as a lyrx file, but the code I have for this seems to get skipped over. Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Here is a section of my code (let me know if you need to see the whole code):

places where a 'skip' can occur are lines 12, 13 and 19

why don't you throw a print statement before those lines and get the condition before it enters the 'if'.

otherwise add an 'else' so that it does something (even a print) to report what it got when the condition failed
