Object Specific Actions Challenge - Visualforce Action won't validate

I keep getting a message telling me " The 'Call Assistant' action wasn't added to the Contact page layout." despite the fact that I've added it to the Contact Page layout. 

Here's my page code: 
<apex:page docType="html-5.0" standardController="Contact" title="Show Assistant Info" >                       

    <div>
    
    <p>Assistant Name : {!Contact.AssistantName}</p> 
    
    <p>Assistant Phone : <a href="tel:{!Contact.AssistantPhone}">{!Contact.AssistantPhone}</a></p>

    </div>
    
    </apex:page>
A screen shot of the Page Editor to show it's enabled for SF1 and properly named:

A screen shot of the Contact Action:

A screen shot of where it's been added to the Salesforce1 Action Bar on the Page Layout:

And finally, a screen shot of where the page has also been added to the SF1 Mobile Navigation Menu:

I don't know what else I can do differently to get this to validate. Is there something I've missed? I've even added the fields to the mini page layout! I've no clue what the real problem is that's behind this not passing the challenge.

Hi Calvin,

Everything seems to be fine.. Can you verify that you are adding that in correct  Contact layout. You can check which layout assigend to your profile.

It's going into the Master Contact Page Layout. Here's a screen shot:

And as you can see below, that's also the one assigned to the System Admin as well as the Standard User.

That solved it! That's absolutely nuts. I thank you immensely for pointing me to the workaround. :)
