Hi, Shawn T. here-First time travelling in UK. I have a Global 7 days in a month Eurail Pass, it is activated and I have added a trip to it.
I was able to buy a seat reservation from London Paddington to Oxford July 8 on apcrail.com(because it wasn’t available from Eurail.com also, this reservation maybe isn’t actually required) So, I have a journey in My Trip, but no actual ticket in the Rail Planner app, so am I good to go? Do I just show the inspector my Journey?
Seems like I’m missing something here….
Thanks for your help!

Reservations aren’t compulsory in the UK (except night trains and Eurostar) so the ticket inspector doesn’t need to see it. The only person you need to show it to is if another passenger is sitting in your seat!
Make sure the journey is listed in My Trip, and toggled on before you board that’s what generates the ticket and QR code to show the inspector
It’s a shame you bought it through ACP rail. If you have any other reservations you want in the UK, you can get them for free from a ticket office in the UK, or through the GWR website.

Thanks so much, I forgot about toggling the journeys on!
Don't activate your Pass and Journeys before the actual travel day. You can only deactivate the Pass until midnight the day before the validity starts and Journeys can only be deactivated until midnight the day before the travel.
