Its stated in the film that the first order "is scanning for our large ships but not our smaller ones", to paraphrase.
Furthermore, if the transports were cloaked then why was the FO able to shoot them down? H1B1Brad Pitt gave them a hunch that the transports were out there, but he didn't track them himself.

So the admirals plan was to gamble on the first order having the technology and the capability to detect her ships, and simply choosing not to do so?
I did not assert that that is what they should have done, but do you not realize how incredibly retarded your statement here is? Like this is legitimately one of the dumbest things I've ever seen you say, which is a milestone in of itself.

I looked up and saw your comment that "Where is this bullshit that the FO needs Non-union Brad Pitt to tell them that there's 100-foot long troop transports flying around in front of their ****ing faces coming from?" and thought it was dumb enough to respond to.
