have you solved this problem?

I don't understand - I read that if the contract had a receive function then it would get called if a .send or .transfer is made to the recipient contract ?

In this code it says that it the receive() function will fail 'if send() or transfer()' - why is that?

It's because transfer and send have 23000 gas fixed https://solidity-by-example.org/sending-ether/
