Thesis Show Posts in Category

I am trying to get a clients site to show of the latest blog posts in that category on the page.

I have got this to work on the category archive page so if they are in Legal-Update category it shows the latest 2 posts from the legal update at the bottom in the thesis hook thesis_hook_after_post_box. Example:
https://westmichiganlaw.com/legal-update/

But if you go into an actual post it shows up blank.
https://westmichiganlaw.com/michigan-real-estate-tax-new-transfer-of-ownership-rules/

Not sure what to do from here. Have been trying to figure this out for a while now and asking for help.

Here is the current code.

<div id="clearer"></div>
<div id="beforefooter" >
<?php
if (is_page(array ( 'government-contracting-blog’ , ‘govcont2test' ))) {

recent_posts('prefix=<div class="poster"><h3>Latest Government Contracting News</h3>&included_cats=6&suffix=</div>&limit=2&output_template=
<ul>
<li>

<div class="test1">
<p class="feat_headline"><a href="{url}">{title}</a></p><p>{snippet:250:word}...<a href="{url}">read more</a></p></div></li></ul>');

} elseif (is_page( '' )) {
   recent_posts('prefix=<div class="poster"><h3>Latest Legal News</h3>&included_cats=3&suffix=</div>&limit=2&output_template=
<ul>
<li>

<div class="test1">
<p class="feat_headline"><a href="{url}">{title}</a></p><p>{snippet:250:word}...<a href="{url}">read more</a></p></div></li></ul>');
}

?>

</div>

Any help is greatly appreciated.
