I would categorize this as a general Steam issue when an achievement not syncing up for some reason but just in case will specify the title. The game is Dirt Rally. There's an achievement called "Nobody Knows I`m Famous". After completing the requirement it popped up in the bottom right corner so I thought all is good and synced up properly but unfortunately turned out its still missing in the list of achievements. I tried to restart the game, Steam client itself, ran some other events in the game, even got one more achievement in the hope that it could force to unlock the previous one and while the latter counted and and is present in the list, "Nobody Knows I`m Famous" is still locked. Couldn't contact steam support as the game is not by Valve. Would appreciate any help.

Could just be bugged. Not much you can do i am afraid. If you are sure you got the achievement and it just did not register correctly just use a program like SAM to unlock it for your account.
Done that in the past with bugged achievements a few times.

Yeah I know about SAM, Ideally would want to activate it legitimately. I chose the "Steam Cloud" category in the support section and sent them the ticket, hopefully its solvable as it's clearly the Steam issue.

Try ask game devs, reason is steam really dont care about it,

If you have overlay issue and game devs use a most be online also then you have a cocktale of issue with it, other steam user have played games in offline mode and get them when they go online again, so you see how they trigger it and when you get them, is set by game devs not steam and how it trigger them thats part of game devs area.

You can use SAM steam dont care it, i did not say game devs do not care. and watchout for some game devs use reward in top of this and use SAM here can be seen as cheating.

I and other have seen you most be online to get them in other games in the past, so many issue with it, + overlay most be enable. ( its a complex issue, depend what game devs did to trigger them. )

Thanks for the reply. My steam client is set to online, just invisible to friends (which never caused any issues and shouldn't frankly). But you're right - steam support didn't provide any meaningful help, they sent me to game devs for assistance which I don't understand at all since it's clearly a steam issue - the Overlay literally showed the notification for achievement completion and just refused to unlock it in general. Will reach out to Codies anyway, have nothing to lose at this point :)
Thank you guys for the info anyways <3

One thing you can try:
1) Make a copy of your current game save;
2) Delete "original" save in-game (or clean out all possible save and config directories);
3) Start playing "anew" and try to trigger that achievement again.

Guys thanks everyone for the input, thankfully I solved it - just ran a championship event one more time and it triggered
