With a multi-monitor setup (possibly important: screens are different resolutions and not aligned), pinning an image to the Desktop will often pin it off-screen. I can confirm that the image pin is created by launching Task View and noting that the pinned image is still visible:
Steps to reproduce
Context: multiple monitors set up (probably important: with different dimensions and some negative X/Y bounds (detailed monitor configuration provided under System Information))
Launch Flameshot using either the PrtScn keyboard shortcut or the Windows Taskbar Launcher icon (equivalent of flameshot gui)
Select a region
Click the Pin image to the Desktop icon Pinned image should not be visible on-screen
Launch Task View (Win+Tab) and verify that a pinned window has in fact been created (just not visible) A "flameshot" window with the pinned image should appear in the list of windows open on the desktop
Close Task View and note that the pinned image is still not visible; it's off-screen
The monitor labels used below come from the monitor device names (provided below under System Information > Monitor Configuration)
DISPLAY5: The monitor in the left of frame in the recording (landscape)
DISPLAY1: The monitor in the right of frame in the recording (landscape)
DISPLAY4: A monitor out of frame and to the right of DISPLAY1 (portrait)
Video Description
Launch flameshot
Select and pin region to Desktop
Pinned image is not visible on-screen
Launch Task View to demonstrate that the pinned image has been created on the Desktop
Use keyboard shortcuts to move the pinned image between monitors, which eventually gets it on-screen

Launching Flameshot and selecting region on DISPLAY1
00:07-00:07
Clicking "Pin image to Desktop"
00:07-00:09
The mouse freaks out that the pinned image is not visible (it's a bit of a drama queen) Note: at this point, the image is pinned and has keyboard focus; it's simply below the bottom of DISPLAY1
00:09-00:13
Launch Task View to show that the screenshot is in fact open (it's below DISPLAY1 right now)
00:13-00:15
Clicking Win+Shift+→ to move the pinned image to DISPLAY4 (out of frame to the right) and then to DISPLAY5 (left in frame). This action for some reason gets the pinned image on-screen.
00:15-00:19
Moving pinned image around DISPLAY5 to demonstrate it is now on-screen
00:19-00:22
Moving pinned image around DISPLAY1, where it was originally selected/pinned, now finally on-screen 😄
