Can't seem to get the CSS to port into functions.php | Any advice at what i'm doing wrong?

Question

I'm trying to import my CSS into my WordPress theme. I've followed the instructions on the video but for some reason, it won't load. The JavaScript seems to be working fine. Can anyone see where I'm going wrong?

This is my functions.php file

<?php

function kadg_theme_styles()
{
wp_enqueue_styles('main_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css');
wp_enqueue_styles('noscript_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/assets/css/noscript.css');
wp_enqueue_styles('fa_min_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/assets/css/font-awesome-min.css');
}

add_action('wp_enqueue_styles' , 'kadg_theme_styles');

?>

<?php

function kadg_theme_js()
{
wp_enqueue_scripts('skel_min_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/assets/js/skel.min.js' , '' , '' , true);
wp_enqueue_scripts('main_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/assets/js/main.js' , '' , '' , true);
}

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts','kadg_theme_js');
?>

This is my header.php file

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php bloginfo('name');?></title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, user-scalable=no" />
<? wp_head();?>
</head>

This is my footer.php file

</div>

</div>

<?php wp_footer();?>

</body>

<?php get_header();?>

Your opening PHP tag in header.php isn't quite right ( <? wp_head();?> ) - fix this line and see if that helps.

I'm hoping this issue has been resolved, but if not, I would look at this wp_enqueue_styles('main_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css'); and change the get_template_directory_uri() function to get_stylesheet_directory_uri(), this might help.

Thank you all for your support. I gave up trying to convert that particular static file after about 12 hours of it driving me insane. I've decided to re-approach the wp-theme development with a less complicated static site. I would like to say however, you've all been awesome. Plus a special thank you for Joel who was willing to give up his time and crawl through my code to fix the issue.
