When I enable "save screen shot" in the save page now page, nothing happens. No screenshot can be shown. Nothing on the web says anything about accessing the saved screenshots either.

Did you use the page for saving? I used the Firefox extension and thought it was only the extension bugging. There seems to be very little on the web about the screenshot feature, it's very handy in seeing how the page actually looked given that more modern websites may not save properly.
It seems very buggy or the index updates randomly given that I saved two pages on 04-01 and those two again + a third new on 04-05, but I only see screenshots from one of the pages from 04-01 and then the third one from 04-05. Maybe it doesn't index updates from oldest to newest archive or it broke and didn't screenshot at all. I recently tried to archive one of those pages from the save now page and it just kept loading. Maybe it breaks sometimes and it's not visible when using the extension that it didn't screenshot.

I may as well show with explicit URLs, so I have captures on my profile and one of those links to https://web.archive.org/web/20240405093105/https%3A%2F%2Fwarframe.fandom.com%2Fwiki%2FDante%23Main
The page doesn't work, need to remove #Main after opening.
When at the page(https://web.archive.org/web/20240405113105/https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Dante), you will find a button at the top-right that looks like a camera.
I did not find it this way originally, skipping some length of text to the end I found: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://web.archive.org/screenshot/https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/* and on the latest entry is the screenshot of the Dante page.
Last I saw it some minutes ago was when it only had one of the 04-01 and 04-05 screenshots visible.
In case my edit doesn't go through for the first reply, I meant that maybe it doesn't update the archives in order of archival time and that's why it displays in such an incomplete state. Also might just be that it didn't screenshot for whatever reason. I'm not familiar with how archive.org works, in FAQ it says indexes can get behind but that doesn't say in what order. This whole post may be pointless if it just takes time for it to update. Maybe it takes a month for it to eventually get to the screenshots we took? I do not know.
