How to verify what protocol was used in an encrypted file transfer?

We have a transfer which uses IBM's Connect:Direct aka NDM. IBM says the transfer uses TLS1.2, and the log for the transfer also shows TLS1.2 and the cipher used.

I traced this using Wireshark, and I only see "SSL" in the protocol where I am expecting to see TLS1.2 and cipher.

I have already added the ports used to edit--> preferences -->http: SSL/TLS Ports

When using other applications (with proper ports added), I am able to see TLS1.2 is used in the trace.

Is it possible this is not actually using TLS1.2? Or do I need to add the ports to another protocol? I raised a ticket with IBM and they said if the debug shows TLS1.2, then that is what was used. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
