The problem here is that the transmission package has two outputs: out
and gui. These are kind of like subpackages. You need the gui one. And
out is the default so transmission means basically transmission:out :)

$ guix package --show=transmission
name: transmission
version: 2.94
outputs: out gui
[...]

In order to install the UI client of transmission, you only need to use:
$ guix package --install=transmission:gui

Then transmission should appear in the GNOME menu or at least as
transmission-gtk in your terminal.
