Hello, I see the other 4 sleep metrics in the Sleep panel, but not breathing  rate. I've used the device 4 nights now.

Also, I don't see the sleep stages yet. I read that I don't want to enable sleep mode on the app and I'm not doing that. The device is charged. Tonight I will try moving it higher  up my arm a bit. Other clues appreciated, thank you!

"Sleep Mode" has no effect on getting sleep stages.  It is 'Begin Sleep now' that prevents sleep stages.

"Sleep Mode" is just a setting designed to prevent interruptions at night.

But if you do use Sleep Mode, be aware that many people get Sleep Mode turned on accidentally, preventing display from coming on with wrist turn, which is an intended result of Sleep Mode to prevent light at night, but a problem during the day if don't realize still in Sleep Mode.

Incidentally, I also haven't gotten breathing rate for months, and I have no idea why.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
