Rather then just give you the code like the above one did I'm going to walk you through it here so you can actually have an understanding on where you may have got stuck so here is a video with the code and a full guide.
Step 1: Find the 'Clues' note in the library of Croft manor.
Step 2: Find Lara's Crown on the top floor of the library (will need the master key which is acquired by using the invisible ink note on top of the box the crown is locked in by the fire to reveal it's location).
Step 3: Find the Hieroglyphics sheet in the Library.
Step 4: Find Amelia's Painting's and count the number of red boxes on the painting.
Step 5: Get Amelia's necklace that is beside her bed and a note that's called 'An Unlikely Union' which is in the same room.
Step 6: Return to the safe and start the puzzle solving.
Using the Hieroglyphics sheet we can tell that the the 2 birds on the crown equal 5.
The painting we looked at before had 4 red squares.
Lord & Lady croft got married 4 days prior to her birthday which is the 13th making their anniversary the 9th of October.
This will make the safe code number 549.
Now return to the fireplace after looting the safe and turn it over to find more Hieroglyphics. Head down to the cellar and where you moved the two carts before will be a rack you can move. Interact with the panel and input 142.

I opened the safe but it didn’t pop. I’ll have to redo it I guess

then from the paper in the safe go to the wine cellar and push the one rack out near where the 2 carts you had to move earlier and that code is

This achievement I've been researching who unlocked it for recently is bugged for the Xbox Series generation. I tried to do it on both Series S and Series X and it didn't pop up either time. I entered the haba of those who recently unlocked and all I saw were made on Xbox One, remembering that there are two other buggy achievements for those who have One X and SX due to the 4k texture path.

NOTE: This solution will be spoiler heavy, only use for guidelines if stuck.
This is the second story related trophy.
It can be quite dofficult to figure out the code, which can be done by reviewing the documents you've collected from the West Wing.
After you've got the key from the library, head back to the Entrance Way, via the upstairs door in the library. Open the west wing doors and take the first right, to find Lara'a mothers hideaway, before you enter though open the cupboard to the right of the door for an document.
Explore every thing in here and you'll easily get the clues needed to progress the story. Make sure you climb the ladder and open the box and the door up top with the master key.
The game will ask you to move on to the Master Bedroom.
You'll find two clues in here.
You'll have a document that tells you how the code is broken down:
Lara's Expesition Treasure
Favourite painting by Amelia
Wedding Anniversary.
Lara'a treasure is in the chest above the library (on the balcony). Heading to the desk down the back of the library will help you decifer the first number.
In Amelias room, you'll discover that his favourite painting gas red blocks, look at them to discover which on it is.
Their anniversary is learned in the Master Bedroom.
If you can't figure it out the code is 549 (5 - heiroglyphic number, 4 - Fourth painting along, 9 - October)
