Please make sure that your computer's time zone has been set correctly. This is the most usual cause of such problems.

The problem I had was when I checked for moon rise/set in Jerusalem, Israel in AD 30 April 4-6 (just before Passover Festival). The time shown must be my computer time. Why not give us local time?

The Moon model used by Stellarium starts getting inaccurate by the 1700s, so it's not very suitable for checking the Moon's position in +30.

As for the rest, it's a long-standing issue:

How can find the way to see set and rise?

Can you help with this problem?
