I experienced the same on xbox series S. Generally speaking, you can't unlock any achievements (and you glitch them) on xbox series if you accidentally quick resume the game and get any cheevo requirement done.

I have all 45 intel as well and mine has not unlocked. I agree with Jakub that it may have something to do with quick resume. It’s been little over a month and still not sure how to get it to pop 😕

Yeah this doesn’t unlock. I’ve done it on the 360 and this makes things glitch. I have 45 intel but no achievement. Looks like there’s no fix, great.

I'll be honest, I gave this a thumbs down because there's no clear indication that you have to retrieve the "3rd" intel on 'Throttle' before moving forward.

It's a great guide for the most part, but I'm gonna have to go back to that level all because there was no indication...

*** COD: ADVANCED WARFARE GLITCHED ACHIEVEMENTS FIX ***
If you are sure you have reached the necessary goals for an achievement but it has not unlocked simply continue to play the game online (multiplayer is advised as this requires a constant online connection) and wait until the achievement pops. From personal experience achievements may pop 4 DAYS LATE however this 'keep playing online until they pop' solution may take less or more time for you.

Hope this helps!
Happy gaming

Most of the guides I've found for all 45 Intel locations do NOT have any commentary guidance and they are unnecessarily long. I provide both commentary and a video less than 10 minutes with clear instructions on the location of each Intel.

There are a total of 45 Intel laptops found in the game. There are 3 in each of the missions, and there are 15 missions in total. All you need to do is go up the the laptop and hold down until the percentage bar reaches 100%. As soon as you pick up a piece of Intel, it permanently saves your Intel progress, so you can Save & Quit. If you die just after picking a piece of Intel, it will still count as being collected. This makes collecting any piece of Intel you missed much easier, and means that you do not have to complete the specific mission in order to save your Intel progress. None of the 45 pieces of Intel are missable, as you can replay missions from the Mission Select menu. Collecting Intel will also reward you with upgrade points which you need in order to fully upgrade your exo suit towards the Power Changes Everything trophy. Below is an image of what a piece of Intel looks like:
