So its pretty clear you need to have Sharingan first whether it be transplanted or not.. then you get the chakra needed and bam you have Rinnegan. Chakra transfers don't grant power, it doesn't work like that. Whenever Sasuke gets chakra from Karin, that doesn't give him her powers. Chakra transfers by themselves don't give power.

Sasuke has Rinnegan because Hagoromo chose to give it to him. Naruto doesn't because Hagoromo didn't give it to him.

He regained his sight by awakening a different dojutsu. Note that when he uses Genjutsu on Ay, he switches back to MS. If Rinnegan were a straight upgrade, that would be a completely pointless move. MS can do everything a Sharingan can do, and better. Rinnegan can't do what even a base Sharingan can.
