CSV projection not aligned with QGIS OSMap

$

I have a CSV file with lat and long coordinates of several points. The coordinates are expressed in the following format: LAT -35,019470 LON -58,427770 (which is the format used in google maps to obtain the correct position of the points).

enter image description here

I import the CSV as delimited text layer, use the EPSG:4326 coordinate system for both the layer and the OS Map layer, use the comma as decimal separator and semicolon as field separator (the sample data looks fine), use LON for X and LAT for Y.

enter image description here

But when I add the layer, all the points are rendered in a very small cluster near Africa (I assume near to the 0,0 of the coordinate system). The shape of the points look ok, but not the scale nor the position.

enter image description here

I go to where one of my known points should be, and see that OS Map has a different coordinate format:

enter image description here

I have tried everything but cannot resolve this (clearly I have very little experience in GIS).
