You likely don't have enough Perception since that stat governs HQ chance. This is not directly tied to level but rather your gear. Gear is most important for DoL, and all your level does is meet minimum level requirememts to see a node at all. There's also a level 12 skill called Perception which will show what is needed for HQ in the gathering ui, so make sure it's not turned off. Leaf turn will only increase HQ chance if that chance is at least 1 already.
