I've already tried the following: Full transparency on Ubuntu 18.04 dock

But I just need to make the panel transparent, and I can't find any way to do so successfully.

The steps you followed are related to the original Dock in Ubuntu 18.04, but you are clearly using Dash-to-Panel GNOME extension which can be made transparent easily using another GNOME extension called Dynamic Panel Transparency.

To specify custom transparency values, all you need to do is:

  1. Enable the extension from Dynamic Panel Transparency's page on extensions.gnome.org.

  2. Refresh the extension's page for the setting icon to appear. (top-right, next to the enable switch)

  3. Access the extension's settings and go to Background tab.

  4. Enable Enable custom opacity and set your custom values.
  5. Done.
