Show me the cancelled check; I want to see the cancelled check addressed to the US, like Trump said when he was running for president. So far we've seen nothing that indicates reimbursement via cancelled check. Everything else you mentioned is mere window dressing.
Fact check: Mexico never paid for it. But what about Trump's other border wall promises? (nbcnews.com)

The U.S. government collected its first fine as part of a new bilateral deal that forces Mexico to prosecute anyone who damages the fence along one part of the southern border and send penalties collected to the United States.
"We just collected the first fine," said Gloria Chavez, the former Border Patrol chief in El Centro, California, who spearheaded the initiative. "It was like $600. The person paid the fine in lieu of going to jail in Mexico for damaging the border wall."
American and Mexican leaders reached a deal a year ago this week to start arresting, prosecuting, and seeking damages from anyone caught attempting to destroy border barrier in southeastern California, where the Border Patrol made $396,000 worth of repairs at 1,300 cuts in its fence in fiscal 2019, Customs and Border Protection told the Washington Examiner. The 2019 fiscal year ran from Oct. 1, 2018, through Sept. 30, 2019.
On Nov. 22, 2019, CBP's Office of Chief Counsel and the Mexican government reached a deal to go after fence cutters in court and send any fines derived from prosecutions back to the U.S.
The Mexican government recently began prosecuting suspects caught on its side of the border across from southeastern California. It marks the first time the countries have partnered to reimburse U.S.
The U.S. has recouped $1,273 in four instances in which Mexico prosecuted people for attempting to blow-torch or saw through older mesh and scrap-metal fencing that was installed during the Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations. Another 15 cases are before the Mexican courts.
Chavez hopes to establish the same agreement in her new region of command in El Paso, Texas......snip~

Whether the fence cutters paid fines for damage to to wall is immaterial at this juncture since they never paid originally to have the wall constructed. The news articles get right to the point on this. Trump never kept his promise regarding the wall reimbursement from Mexico.
