Missing tags on first post

Tags are not showing up on my first post, but are showing up on subsequent posts, and the individual post pages.

I’ve read the article here: https://return-true.com/2008/12/using-wp_query-to-make-custom-queries-within-wordpress-templates/ and tried to implement what it said, but I started getting an “endwhile” error.

I appreciate the help, thank you.
