Your issue and the answers to it have been posted countless times in this
group.
It is not essential that you add a PST File before starting Outlook for the
first time. If you have already created a new profile it will have already
create a new PST file. All you need to do is open the PST file you want to
use instead, set it as the default, then restart Outlook. Then enable your
Contacts Folder as an email address book in its properties.
The only thing you _can't_ do is use a profile that you created using
Windows Easy Transfer. Those profiles are invariably corrupt beyond repair.

I can see the contacts when I click on the Contacts section button in

I don't believe any of the articles you cited makes the explicit
statement that you should start with a new mail profile, add your PST to
it, then add the Outlook Address Book service to it prior to starting
Outlook for the first time.

How can I start with a new mail profile and add a PST and OAB to it before
starting Outlook? Is this done at the command line somehow?

Considering that I've already started Outlook for the first time at this
point, how would I go about this fix?

I tried renaming the existing Outlook.pst and replacing it with the one
from my old machine but I have the same problem and some Contact
subfolders aren't being displayed anymore.
