You commands look correct. I tried them on my FB, they work.
Check firewalld status.

systemctl status firewalld

You can add port manually to firewalld configuration and then restart
firewalld (systemctl restart firewalld).

Edit /etc/firewalld/zones/internal.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<zone>
  <short>Internal</short>
  <description>For use on internal networks. You mostly trust the other computers on the networks to not harm your computer. Only selected incoming connections are accepted.</description>
  ...
  <port port="8090" protocol="tcp"/>
</zone>
