To find the BPM of your loop:

trim it up so it is a perfect loop and then go to loop screen, turn loop on and loop from start to end.

Go to params on the trim screen and then pick how many beats the loop is, itll show the BPM.

Put your project tempo on that

Chop your sample up

Play back how you want it

if its looping at the right tempo, whats the point of "finding the bpm" in the trim mode? Didnt you just find that by getting to loop at a certain bpm.
