I haven't used ProtonVPN, but for PIA the port never showed as open until traffic was going through it.
Once I put the port into qbittorrent and downloaded for a couple of minutes, the port then showed as open for port test tools.

Are you using OpenVPN or Wireguard configs?
For Wireguard I had to slightly modify the commands to open a port to:
natpmpc -g 10.2.0.1 -a 0 0 tcp 60
natpmpc -g 10.2.0.1 -a 0 0 udp 60
while true ; do date ; natpmpc -g 10.2.0.1 -a 0 0 tcp 60 && natpmpc -g 10.2.0.1 -a 0 0 udp 60 || { echo -e "ERROR with natpmpc command \a" ; break ; } ; sleep 45 ; done
Huh I am using openvpn but that's good to know!
You must check that the client you're using is trying to use the port that ProtonVPN actually forwards
