Hi Andrew,

VCF Upgrade Sequence is like this below : 

1st you will have to upgrade your Management Domain Components i.e. 

1. SDDC Manager .

2. vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager, vRealize Suite products, and Workspace ONE Access (if applicable).

A .vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

B. vRealize Log Insight

C. vRealize Operations

D. vRealize Automation

E. Workspace ONE Access

3. NSX-T

4. VC (this will be only the Mgmt VC , not all the VI WLD VCs it will upgrade ) 

5. ESXI Patch /VxRail (if this is VCF on VxRail ) 

Once you you complete all these components upgrade , that means you MGMT Domain is fully upgraded to Target version . 

Only after this the SDDC Manager LCM will allow you to upgrade the VI WLD Workload Domain. that sequence is followed below . 

1. NSX-T 

2. VC 

3. ESXI /VxRail (if this is VCfonVxRail)

Please check the below document : 

Upgrade Prerequisites (vmware.com)

Upgrading to VMware Cloud Foundation 4.4 or 4.4.1

Upgrade the Management Domain to VMware Cloud Foundation 4.4 or 4.4.1

Upgrade VI Workload Domains to VMware Cloud Foundation 4.4

coming back to the point where you dont see the manifest file miss and upload it again . Hoping u have taken a snapshot before u do the precheck and upload any files.  if u havent dont it please do that going in ur up coming upgrades. 

if you are sure u have updated teh manifesto files and all bundles are in place. 
try restart the lcm serivce i.e. 

systemctl restart lcm 

Thanks & Regards,
