The paring process should complete

After pairing was successful, select "UPDATE MOONLIGHT GAMES" option. This should query the server for the list of all games and populate Moonlight Streaming tab in Emulation Station.

Remote Playing over internet

The easiest option is to add your device to your Tailscale network with your local PC, link.
Moonlight allows to open several ports to connect to the local PC to stream over the internet. Setup might be somewhat complicated.
Another option is to use WireGuard VPN to setup the connection with the device. This approach requires only a single open port, but it requires WireGuard server to be running on your local network.
