Matlab Digital filter not working, how come?

Before reading any further, to give you on some insight on the output level of the oscilloscope picture's

the ~340mV green signal is normal. If you know me I posted a question as to why its 340mV but for sake of simplicity 340mV is normal in this case. So attenuation is not being seen here.

trying to design some digital filters directly from matlab to be implemented in the [STM32H7][1] using the [CMSIS DSP library][2]

I tried first doing a **butterworth low pass filter** with some criteria I made listed in the picture 

0693W000004KTAzQAO.jpg 

Converted it to Direct-Form 1 and into second - order sections. Then generated to a .h header in single precision form as I am working with floats and not doubles. 

Here are the coefficients

float32_t iir_coeffs[20] = {0.344617784f, 0.689235568f, 0.344617784f, 0.2994394898f, -0.6779106259f, // Biquad Stage 1
 
                0.265586704f, 0.531173408f, 0.265586704f, 0.2307691127f, -0.2931158841f, // Biquad Stage 2
 
                0.2259309888f, 0.4518619776f, 0.2259309888f, 0.1963121295f, -0.1000360623f, // Biquad Stage 3
 
                0.2090389729f, 0.4180779458f, 0.2090389729f, 0.1816346198f, -0.01779049635f // Biquad Stage 4}; 

Once the coefficients where obtained, all I had to do in code was change the state variable length to 4*4 = 16 and number of stages to 4 as this is a 4 stage biquad filter implementation. 

However this doesnt work! I have no idea as to why? There's no attenuation @ 20kHz should be -3dB down and at 40kHz should be a nice -100dB down but the picture says otherwise.

Sorry, I don't know why your filter is not working. So I can only make wild/general suggestions (I wrote and tested my own IIR routines). Maybe test the components of your design separately. Test the filter with mathematically generated sine wave data in another program. Test the filter with just a single section and with independently sourced filter coefficients. Perhaps write a program that simulates an IIR filter in a high level language so you can test the IIR filter coefficients.
