SharePoint 2013 Setup Not Creating Service Connection Point

I am performing a SharePoint 2013 installation and am experiencing a very strange situation I have never encountered before. Even though the account I am using to run the SharePoint Products and Configuration Wizard with is a domain administrator and has write, read, and create service connection point rights on the active directory container cn=System, cn=Microsoft SharePoint Products, the installer is not actually creating and placing the expected sub item in there which normally looks like a container with a GUID similar to ab892-he374inbdg-7381jdf-84929-u7483929.

No errors are thrown during installation, but the SCP is clearly not getting created.

In an attempt to get to the root of the matter, I tried to install the farm manually using powershell to better track exactly what is happening I use the following script, which works great and does everything:

param( 
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]
    $configLocation,
   
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]
    $createJoin,

    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]
    $isCA
)

$Global:ScriptLocal = $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path
#$Global:Port = 9999

# Creates prompt for user to press key
function Wait-KeyPress { 
    Read-Host -Prompt "Press any key to continue..."
}

# Checks if resources needed for script are avaliable
function RunChecks{
    $valid = 1

    #Farm config file
    if(!(Test-Path $configLocation))
    {
        InvalidPath($configLocation)
        $valid = 0
    }
    return $valid
}

# Prints error message on path not found
function InvalidPath($path)
{
    Write-Host "Path '" + $path + "' was not found" -ForegroundColor Red
}

# Creates/Joins new SP farm
function Create_JoinFarmDatabases{
    Write-Host "Creating farm config & admin databases..." -ForegroundColor Green

    [xml]$configXml = Get-Content $configLocation

    # SQL Server variable
    $SQLServer = $configXml.Configuration.SQLServer
    $SQLUsername = $configXml.Configuration.SQLUsername
    $SQLPassword = $configXml.Configuration.SQLPassword
    $FarmPassphrase = $configXml.Configuration.PassPhrase
    $ConfigDB = $configXml.Configuration.ConfigDB
    $AdminDB = $configXml.Configuration.AdminDB
    $Global:Port = $configXml.Configuration.Port

    $FarmCredentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $SQLUsername, (ConvertTo-SecureString $SQLPassword -AsPlainText -Force)
    #$FarmPassphrase = Read-Host "Enter passphrase" -AsSecureString

    if($createJoin -eq "create")
    {
        Write-Host " - Creating databases..." -ForegroundColor Green
        New-SPConfigurationDatabase -DatabaseServer $SQLServer -DatabaseName $ConfigDB -AdministrationContentDatabaseName $AdminDB -Passphrase (ConvertTo-SecureString $FarmPassphrase -AsPlainText -Force) -FarmCredentials $FarmCredentials
   
        if (-not $?) {
            throw "Configuration database could not be setup"   
        }

        Write-Host "Databases created. Config: " + $ConfigDB + " Admin: " + $AdminDB -ForegroundColor Green
    }
    else{
        Write-Host " - Joining databases..." -ForegroundColor Green
        Connect-SPConfigurationDatabase -DatabaseServer $SQLServer -DatabaseName $ConfigDB -Passphrase (ConvertTo-SecureString $FarmPassphrase -AsPlainText -Force)

        if (-not $?) {
            throw "Configuration database could not be joined"   
        }

        Write-Host "Databases joined. Config: " + $ConfigDB + " Admin: " + $AdminDB -ForegroundColor Green
    }
}

function InstallSPFeatures{
    Write-Host "Installing SP features..." -ForegroundColor Green

    Initialize-SPResourceSecurity
    Install-SPService 
    Install-SPFeature -AllExistingFeatures
   
    if($isCA -eq "y")
    {
        New-SPCentralAdministration -Port $Global:Port -WindowsAuthProvider NTLM
    }

    Install-SPApplicationContent

    Write-Host "SP features installed" -ForegroundColor Green
}

# Check resources are avaliable
if((RunChecks) -eq 1)
{
    try{
        Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
        if(Get-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)
        {
            Create_JoinFarmDatabases
            InstallSPFeatures

            Remove-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell

            Write-host "Success" -ForegroundColor Green
        }
        else{
            Write-host "SharePoint not found" -ForegroundColor Red
        }
    } catch{
        Write-host "Error creating/joining farm" -ForegroundColor Red
    }
}

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell

Install-SPHelpCollection -All

$ServiceConnectionPoint = get-SPTopologyServiceApplication | select URI
Set-SPFarmConfig -ServiceConnectionPointBindingInformation $ServiceConnectionPoint -Confirm:$False

Wait-KeyPress

After the script runs, I get the success message shown below, but then my service connection point does not get created due to an "object not found" error.

SP features installed
Success

Confirm
Ensuring and updating the Service Connection Point for the current farm in Active Directory
[Y] Yes  [N] No  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "Y"): Y
WARNING: Unable to update Service Connection Point at LDAP://CN=Microsoft SharePoint

It doesn't matter if I run the wizard, or use powershell, the service connection point does not get created.

Permissions are correct, I am at a total loss. Any ideas?
