If someone lets you know the position has been filled at the job you applied for and to check back later, can you ask how you could improve or ask what they are looking for?

You certainly can. Sometimes it’s just a better fit for the specific team based on need and experience. Or if they met that person first and you came second and didn’t meet the full team and the team signed off on them that’s another reason. You can certainly ask for feedback though. You have that right to know what they were looking for.

No hand holding by others in the project.

Even TL says ask teams mates.
WHAT SHOULD I DO??

Help me ask for a raise in my upcoming performance review? In sum, my company’s HQ is in Texas and I feel I’m being paid a Texas wage when I live in Los Angeles (the role is remote). We do have a San Francisco office and I want to ask my boss to match me what staff are making there. As that’s more comparable. Based off of Glassdoor, my salary matches Texas’s exactly and SF has the same role at 10k more. Should I show him the Glassdoor page? Don’t want to come off too strong. Please advise
