NUCLEO F411RE and LoRa not working

EDIT: Have completely re worded the question after much more testing.

I'm currently trying to get LoRaWAN working but after a few days of trying I still can't. I'm using the NUCLEO F411RE paired with a HOPE RFM95 chip (https://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=Lora_Shield - V1.4). The arduino uno and the stm nucleo board pins run at different logic levels (5V on uno, 3.3V on nucleo). so the dragino shield has logic converters for this which I bypassed by soldering jumpers directly to the RFM95 chip on top.

I've looked into the SX1276 LoRa drivers (https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-semtech-lora-rf-drivers) and know they support the RFM95 chip (compared to the original semtec drivers) and it does successfully detect its the RFM and not Semtec.

Have tested the shields do work with arduino uno's using this lib https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-LoRa . The mbed-os-example-lorawan on the DISCO_L072CZ_LRWAN1 also works fine (although only with the online compiler? the CLI would just crash the chip...). I have also used two different F411REs and two different RFM boards

The lorawan example codes only modification I made was for the F411RE pin mapping as follows in the json config.

"NUCLEO_F411RE": {
            "lora-radio": "SX1276",
            "lora-spi-mosi":       "D11",
            "lora-spi-miso":       "D12",
            "lora-spi-sclk":       "D13",
            "lora-cs":             "D10",
            "lora-reset":          "D9",
            "lora-dio0":           "D2",
            "lora-dio1":           "D6",
            "lora-dio2":           "D7",
            "lora-dio3":           "D3",
            "lora-dio4":           "NC",
            "lora-dio5":           "NC",
            "lora-rf-switch-ctl1": "NC",
            "lora-rf-switch-ctl2": "NC",
            "lora-txctl":          "NC",
            "lora-rxctl":          "NC",
            "lora-ant-switch":     "NC",
            "lora-pwr-amp-ctl":    "NC",
            "lora-tcxo":           "NC"
}

The SPI appears to be working correctly when connected to a logic analyser. Once the lora chip is done transmitting it will produce an interrupt on the DIO0 pin which I've confirmed does happen and is handled correctly by the SX1276 radio driver but after this the lorawan example never handles the TX_DONE event and just seems to hang (should print Message sent to network server).
