If Target said it was unlocked then they messed you up. Here is the Apple Policy that screws your unlocking experience. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254042796?sortBy=best
Now to get this unlocked you need to contact T-Force(T-Mobile Help) on Facebook or Twitter with they will contact Apple to find out if the IMEI is legit theirs and then they will get the IMEI imported to the database for unlocking and put in the request to Apple.
Short tidbit of information no carrier would put the IMEI in their database without verification from the manufacturer(the right department) as they don't want to be held potentially liable for theft or fraud is why you are having this problem.
If you bought the phone from Target, the phone will lock to the first Sim card inserted due to Apples 3rd party flex policy.
