I was practicing with duolingo as usual, and one of my exercises asked me to translate this english sentence into norwegian: "Maybe you don't think about me either"

I translated it as: "Kanskje tenker du ikke på meg heller".

This translation was marked as wrong. I applied the v2 rule, so i placed the verb in second position right after kanskje but apparently on this sentence this rule doesn't apply. Can someone explain me why?

I think the issue is with "ikke". The verb is right but the "ikke" should follow the verb. However, I don't know the exact rules here so take it with a grain of salt. When saying the sentence you wrote it doesn't feel completely wrong though.
