you also are not setting 'ICMP Extension Structure'. From:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8335

o ICMP Extension Structure: The ICMP Extension Structure identifies
the probed interface.

Section 7 of [RFC4884] defines the ICMP Extension Structure. As per
RFC 4884, the Extension Structure contains exactly one Extension
Header followed by one or more objects. When applied to the ICMP
Extended Echo Request message, the ICMP Extension Structure MUST
contain exactly one instance of the Interface Identification Object
(see Section 2.1).
