I can't get my Index Match Max formula to work- has error #UNPARSEABLE

Trying to find replica of excel's Xlookup formula.

Here is my current formula that is not working:

=INDEX({GP% TO PAY}, MATCH(MAX({HIGHEST TIER%})([% to GP Budget]@row, {HIGHEST TIER%}),0))

I am trying to pull in Employee's % to be paid on their bonus, based on the current sheet's % to GP Budget result. The helper sheet I am cross referencing is the template that I am telling it to look at the tier options and give me the max %.

Here is the sheet the formula is on:

and here are my cross references:

GP % to Pay=

Highest Tier%=

    I added a 3rd reference for {Lowest Tier%} for Column 2 range. Then use this formula:
    =INDEX(COLLECT({GP% TO PAY}, {HIGHEST TIER%}, @cell >= [% to GP Budget]@row, {Lowest Tier%}, @cell < [% to GP Budget]@row), 1)

    Works on my end. Let me know if you need support and we can do a screen share meeting.
