I'm following a tutorial and seem to have the nodes set up correctly but the viewport in the background won't appear, what could be going wrong here?

$\begingroup$ Hello and welcome. Did you Render your scene (F12) before you move to the compositing tab? $\endgroup$– EmirJun 9, 2021 at 1:29

Just press this little icon here:
it is right beside the "view layer" text

You need to enable the Backdrop option, shown in the screenshot with the right-marker. And also link an output, Viewer node to your input, Render Layer node, shown with the left-marker in the screenshot.
This should display the rendered image in the background of your compositing editor which allows quick tweaking of the image without needing to switch editors.
