If it were you what would you be looking at?

Connections and charge controller settings for one. What batteries are you running (lead acid or lithium - I hope lead acid based on your settings)?
Looking at your pictures some more: is it true that there is only 37V or so solar voltage, and you're trying to charge a 48V battery? That won't work... I might just read that wrong.

a max voltage of 75V for the batteries?? I think we need more info. it says it absorb charged for 2 hours than float charged for 6:27 hours
Being that the charge controller is in a "charged" state. I am assuming the conext is charging the batteries...

I'd be looking at the Outback manual. The manual provides detailed information on each screen and setting in a reasonable sequential manner. There are a lot of screens and settings on the CC that you're not showing us that may keep the charger from working.
But checking the connections and circuit breakers is a good start.

Other settings show 57.7 vdc equalize. This shows 72.3 out to the batteries and "charged" Things just don't look right. I would do a factory reset on the CC and input correct numbers.

The second Outback screen is interesting. It shows that your panels are producing 119.6 Volts with no current. Usually, the Outback shows a current and then below it is 72.3 volts with again no current and then at the bottom it shows charged.
The 72.3 volts should be your battery voltage. I am not sure why it would show your battery voltage at 72.3 volts.
You definitely need to go through your Outback settings and make sure that they are set correctly. The Outback does not work unless you are in the Bulk mode. Charged implies that your batteries are full, and it turns off the Charge Controller.
I used to have a couple of Outback FM80s but replaced them with Victron's.
Once you let us know what type of batteries you have and the Outback settings, then we can help you get them straightened out.
