I tried at first to do this using manual model entry, quickly realised that wasn't super feasible and was just going to be tedious so took the plunge in trying to fix this with model as matrices. Got there in the end!

Hi guys, here's my solution.

 

Can somebody please explain me why the result is different when I supply the constraints in rows vs supplying the variables in rows?

Wish the optimization tool was a bit more intuitive for me, but I tend to struggle getting the settings right.
