It might take some time (thursday tick maybe?)
When I built my first coriolis station it didn't have a shipyard either, for several weeks. Then it suddenly had one. (This was way before this update, so it was not this that caused it.)
Elite Dangerous | Trailblazers Update 3.1 - 7th May 2025

Same here. Initial colonization outpost is a coriolis, came online last week. No shipyard. Build other stuff since. No shipyard. Planning to put some T2 Research outposts, orbitals, and a final local - strong link refinery hub to offset the tech eco weak links in the hopes that obtaining a 35 tech level will get me the shipyard.
Folks keep in mind the tech level only gets boosted if you ONLY have a single tier 2 or 3 port. If you start building other things, you will likely need to reach tech level 35 yourself.
I've had really good success by working on getting a high tech level, development level, and standard of living (in that priority order).
It was the ONLY construction, no others even started, in the system. I went through a weekly tick where it came fully online, and no shipyard.
Added: May 18th
I have built up the tech-level to 35; waiting for the next weekly tick.

Any update on the ability for orbital installation to be deleted when is placed in wrong slot (game error)?
quick question. for a high tech economy would 2 strong research obital installations over an ammonia world produce muon imagers at accompanying station? for some reason these things are like hen's teeth!! Any feedback appreciated as ever. Thankyou
Muon imagers are only produced at surface Industrial and High Tech settlements/ports (the predetermined economy surface ports are good for getting muon imagers), so any orbital station would never have muon imagers to the best of my knowledge.
See also Inara's entry on muon imagers.

Oh well. That's a pity. Thanks for the reply Cmdr. Kzak!
Just while I'm here I've noticed that several of my Coriolis stations don't face the planet/moon they are orbiting in terms of their entrance - I thought that was a thing?

High Tech Surface Outpost. Only produces a few thousand Muon Imagers despite the population in the system. So, if you build that type of surface outpost you can get them, but be careful what else you build that could potentially consume them.
Greetings Commanders,
Today we will be applying a server-side fix so that shipyards will correctly activate in all instances following the changes made in Trailblazers update 3.1.
Please note that these changes will take up to 24 hours to be visible in game.
This is part of a larger update which will be applied next week, which aims to correct activation behaviour for all station services.
Patch notes and full detail on how services can be activated will be provided in advance to enable Commanders to plan accordingly.

Mine neither. I happened to notice for the first time since my first coriolis build that the entrance has white blinking lights while the rear has red blinking lights.
Edit: on the 4 corners
Universal Cartographics? 
Been restarting my game every few hours. Now I have a shipyard on my coriolis - 36 ships available. No UC, outfitting or livery though. My T1 planetary port shipyard is still unavailable. The coriolis was my initial build, right after the update that would give the lone t2/t3 orbitals a 35 tech level. Maybe the patch for next week will fix the port shipyard and both location's services. Step in the right direction anyway. 
Edit: I also noticed the 4 or so construction platforms have finally disappeared.
