Are you testing the PDF in a browser or in Adobe Reader or Acrobat? TOC links (or any other internal links) don't work correctly in Chrome or Firefox and there's nothing you can do about it to the best of my knowledge.

Your initial testing should always be in Adobe Reader or Acrobat because they are the best PDF reader applications. Once the document works correctly with them, by all means test with other applications such as browsers or Preview on macOS, but they do not fully support the PDF specification and you may not be able to fix things that don't work properly.
