Maya 2020 Extrude along Curve... Flat?

I'm trying to make a ring and I wanted to extrude along a curve that has the shape that I want. Only the edges aren't following the curve like they used to. So instead of wrapping around the curve and each division being rotated to follow, it just squishes the curve.

I've never had this happen before in prior versions, so I'm not sure what's changed or if there's a new flow (There seems to be, since now I have to use the right-click component mode to even be able to extrude on the line, where I didn't have to do that before) or if there's an attribute that I need to be tweaking to get it to follow the form. Or if I built my curve incorrectly? It was an EP Curve and I got the start and end points correct. I just have no idea what's going on that's making it not follow the form like it used to. 

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi!

If this is a polygon model, don't extrude the edges, create a polygon face at the end of the cylinder and then extrude the face.

I was having some problems with it earlier, trying to get it to extrude from some faces. It gave me only a 2nd set of faces at the end point and nothing connecting them, which is why I tried the edge. But it seems to be working this time. I wonder what I did. =/
