That is correct. Did you verify the signature? Make sure you aren't adding any extra spaces.
A raw Monero address is a set of 95 characters starting with a '4' or an '8'.
The address is actually the concatenation, in Base58 format, of the public spend key and the public view key, prefixed with the network byte (the number 18 for Monero) and suffixed with the first four bytes of the Keccac-256 hash of the whole string (used as a checksum).
im grabbing the whole text block where it says verify this signature and decrypting it with the drughub master key.
but nothing additional comes up in the decrypted message beyond "if it doesnt match do not send payment".
but the address is written there and is not even encrypted
