@mdplastics, Welcome to Connect, and Congratulations on your recent liver transplant! I am a transplant recipient and my transplant ( simultaneous liver and kidney) was in 2009. As I read your post I recall what other members have shared similar post transplant struggles. It is not limited yo liver transplant patients.
I remember after my transplant, that I needed a nap each day. In fact my husband made sure that I was not disturbed from 12 noon - 3PM each day, so I could nap, or simply rest. I learned that I had to rebuild my endurance for activity due to my inactive and difficult pre transplant period. I increased my walking distance over time, and that helped. I discovered that I could only allow myself one cup of coffee, and no caffeine after lunch if I wanted to sleep. It was a while before I could sleep through the night, though. At my 4 month checkup, my iron was low, so my team prescribed an iron supplement until my level returned to normal range.
I want to share a couple of discussions where members have discussed some of their own early post transplant experiences. I invite you to take a look, and you will find the oldest replies to be related to your concerns. If you would like to direct a question or a comment to a particular individual, just post their @name like I have included yours at the beginning of this reply.

@btwest6, @gphetteplace, @contentandwell, @stolson1, @kennyj12462, @krsunny1 - What would you like to add to my response?
@mdplastics, It is possible that your medications are impacting your lack of focus, brain fog, sleeplessness, fatigue... Is your transplant team monitoring your tacrolimus blood levels?
Medication levels are monitored regularly. They remain therapeutic and not toxic.
Appreciate your detailed response to my post.
