The problem is that your button widths are zero.

<Button
android:id="@+id/Button2"
android:layout_width="0dp" //<------------- HERE
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginTop="1dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:background="@android:drawable/btn_radio"
android:text="Button2"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/Button3"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/Button1" />

Change the width and you will see them.
