back button not showing up in CollapsingToolbarLayout

Hi I am doing a simple app to try out material design. Unfortunately, following the incredible tutorial here and trying out the samples here (These are incredible sources for FYI in material design) I am struggling to make my app toolbar to work perfectly as it should. For instance, the back button right next to the title on collapse in not showing up. BUT I can simply click that area where it should be and it responded.

So therefore the button is there but it is not showing up and I cannot figure out why. Also, as the toolbar collapsed, the toolbar doesn't change its color to primary color I set. contentScrim doesn't seem to react on collapse mode but I will post another question for this.

Here is what it currently looks like:

Now on collapse, the title is noticeably far to the right. The button is there, I can click it, it returns to my app's homescreen but the back icon is not there.

Here is the layout file for the activity:
