I just logged into our RT instance to make sure I use the correct terms.
Goto the top menu: Admin/CustomFields/Select
Make sure you have ticket CFs displayed (Only show custom fields for Field)
Select one that is visible in the old system.
Now select 'Applies to' from the top right menu
There it should show you whether that CF is globally visible or only for
selected queues and a list of unselected queues.

Another route would be to select Admin/Queues/Select, select the queue
where your CFs aren't visible anymore and then Select 'Custom Fields'
from the top right menu. That should give you a list of all CFs that are
applicable to that queue.

You could add a new group add yourself to it and give that group all
rights possible. If the CFs show up than its a rights problem, if they
don't than you have a problem in the database, you can check with
rt-validator.

If you create a new CF does it show up?
