If you are using a GUI interface there is often a gear icon which gives you more detail to see the close transaction id.
What UI are you using to interact with the LND node?
ThunderHub RideTheLighting terminal etc...

have all of them installed, let me check:
on RTL the closing transaction does not appear

on TH same same, closing transactions ID are not there
https://m.stacker.news/30865
Funn fact, when I check the opening transaction on one of the nodes, I get the following from the mempool website:
Transaction not found. Waiting for it to appear in the mempool...
Other two nodes I can see the opening transaction on the mempool website, both with XXXXX confirmations

In ThunderHub, do you have anything in the pending channel section (top right in channel page)?

We are getting past my level of expertise.
Few other questions and thoughts:
  • I assume you node is in Sync?
  • Is the mempool you are using, is it your local mempool or a online website?
  • In thunderHub can you look in your transactions section and see if you can find the opening transactions manually?
  • What does amboss space show for these channels for your node?

I assume you node is in Sync?
yes indeed, 100% sync
Is the mempool you are using, is it your local mempool or a online website?
both, local mempool and the mempool.space website provide same output. That's is actually really weird because the channel was open since over a year... not sure it was routing but it was definitely open.
In thunderHub can you look in your transactions section and see if you can find the opening transactions manually?
Look's like there's no transaction history older than a month, since when the force closures!
What does amboss space show for these channels for your node?
Two of the peers node are still having the channel as open when I check 1ml, same on amboss. The other node (the one that give me error on the opening transaction ID) does not have the channel active anymore, nor is appearing in its list of closed channels
