I suppose your plugin function aroundCapture() has completed bypassed the parent function since \Closure is not executed. As a result, Paypal transactions cannot be captured correctly and Paypal transaction ID(s) was missing. Please fix it by return $unknown($payment, $amount); instead of return $subject;.
