Your booster does NOT show up as "bonus affinity".  Your booster doubles affinity gains, which you see when you earn the affinity from the popup shown on screen.  So for example on Earth, when I play without a booster I see about 60 affinity for a kill and 4200 for hacking a spy vault objective.  With a booster that's doubled to about 120 for a kill and 8400 for hacking a spy vault.   When the End of Mission screen talks about bonus affinity, it's referring to the mission completion which adds 125% all the affinity you earned in that mission.  So if you earn 1000 xp in a mission and abort, you get 1000, but if you finish the entire mission you get 1000+1250 bonus.  (Or a boosted player would get 2000 + 2500)

Where I *do* see a problem is that the End of Mission screen isn't showing a number for your Bonus Affinity, even though according to the game logs it actually does get submitted to the server. I've entered that as an issue for our UI teams.

So to reiterate:
- Affinity Booster doubling what you earn is rolled into the base amount. "Bonus Affinity" is a different mechanic and is what what you get for completing the mission
- The UI is currently not showing you a value for Bonus Affinity, but looking in the game logs, the actual number submitted to the server does include it properly.
