Can't Get Markers to show on Map

Hi folks because of changes at Google Maps API I'm making some changes to a maps page I have. The data creates the array from MySQL using PHP. Cutting out of the un-neccessary stuff I end up with this.

The code below shows the map but it doesn't show the markers. Getting no errors so I can't work out why. Does anyone have any ideas please.

The 'rfap1' etc is refering to a CSS style. When I view the page source the array returns i.e. rfas[0] aren't being converted (read).

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="[URL unfurl="true"]https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?callback=Function.prototype&key=MYKEY&loading=async"></script>[/URL]
<script type="text/javascript">
async function initmap() {
  // setTimeout second value is milliseconds
  // ie: 1000 = 1 second, 30000 = 30 seconds
  setTimeout( "document.location = document.location;", 30000);
  const { Map } = await google.maps.importLibrary("maps");
  const { AdvancedMarkerElement } = await google.maps.importLibrary("marker");
  const myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(-41.439068, 147.135773);
  const bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
  const myOptions = {
    zoom: 12,
    maxZoom: 18,
    center: myLatLng,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
    mapId: 'rfamaps123456'
  };
  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("show_map"), myOptions);

  var rfastodo = [
    ['4',-41.416744,147.134476,'rfap3',2],
    ['3082',-41.432907,147.152039,'rfap3',3],
    ['3079',-41.431507,147.147400,'rfap2',4]
  ];
  
setRFAs(map, rfastodo);

  function setRFAs(map, rfalist){
      const rfaTag = document.createElement("div");
      for (var i = 0; i < rfalist.length; i++) {
      var rfas = rfalist[i];
      var myLatLng2 = new google.maps.LatLng(rfas[1], rfas[2]);
      rfaTag.classname = rfas[3];
      rfaTag.textcontent = rfas[0];
      var marker = new AdvancedMarkerElement({
          position: myLatLng2,
          map: map,
          content: rfaTag,
          zIndex: rfas[4]
      });
    }
    bounds.extend(marker.position);
    map.fitBounds(bounds);
  }
}
</script>

</head />
<body style="margin:0px; padding:0px;" onload="initmap()" />
<div id="show_map" style="width:100%; height:90%;"></div>
</body>
</html>
