Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by hex bytes...
I have had no formal coding instruction, I am entirely self-taught so I apologize if I am misunderstanding something very basic.
I tried to look up what you mean using Google but could not seem to find anything relevant.
How would I go about convert my hex string to hex bytes...?
So what you have is a hex string which is different from hex bytes. Hex bytes are the human readable form of binary. If you were to convert a set of hex bytes to binary, you would get the 1's and 0's that a computer reads. On the other hand, if you have a string, you have something completely different. At the binary level, each character in the string is a set of bytes, and when you hash the string, you are hashing those bytes, and not the bytes that you actually want which you read in the string.I have had no formal coding instruction, I am entirely self-taught so I apologize if I am misunderstanding something very basic.

To hash the bytes, you can use this site: http://www.fileformat.info/tool/hash.htm. Enter the hex string into "Binary Hash" field and it will give you the hashes down below. When you hash again, make sure you do the same thing and hash the bytes.
