Baggage allowance for *G on Award Ticket
I'm flying LGA -> ORD -> LAS in Y tomorrow and purchased the ticket as a MileagePlus saver award. I have Star Alliance Gold through TAP and entered this in my booking. My understanding based on the baggage calculator shown during purchase is that I would have 2 free checked bags. I just checked in online and can see my status has been recognized, but the United app is still trying to charge me $45 for a second checked bag.

Will I need to go to the counter to receive my second free checked bag, or am I misunderstanding the benefits? I just want to know what to expect at the airport tomorrow so I can avoid any last-minute issues.

This is what I was shown during booking:
