Default Oil change- 6 quarts but doesn't register on dipstick

Please help! I have an 05 dodge magnum 3.5l sxt awd. When I got the car the dipstick broke. Dealer fixed it. I took it for oil change watched then put 6 quarts in but it doesn't show any oil whatsoever on the dipstick. I checked online and found that the dipstick should be 19.06 inches long. Measured it and it's the right dipstick. This is driving me crazy! Any help is greatly appreciated..

Add you sure the holder is attached?

yes. It's not leaking oil and it runs great.

Did you bring it up to the dealer who changed the oil? They didn’t check the level after changing it?

Yes. They checked it. Said I had wrong dipstick. I ordered the new one and still nothing.
