I think the filter would still fill with oil if a galley plug were missing, but not 100% sure.
To me it sounds like the issue is between the pickup and the filter. And it's pretty much a straight shot.
Oil in pan>pickup>pump>short passage run> filter housing>filter
That stuff is pretty easy to check, not much disassembly involved.
