Pinned Start Apps not working for Multi-app kiosk

Hello, I am trying to configure a Multi-app kiosk device that will go onto lifts that move product in the yards. This is a POC and currently I will just need Zscaler Client Connector and RFGen. These are both Win32 apps. I have the auto logon working and there was a brief moment when I saw the pinned apps and could access them. Since then after restarting, they have never come back. I have configured it with OMA-URI settings and at first had pinned apps included, but since have set up a separate policy to pin them. I will attach the initial config file.KioskMode-Config(test_V4-FLAPP).xml and the JSON for the config start menu portion is

{

"pinnedList":[

	{"desktopAppId": "Microsoft.AutoGenerated.{F391E5DB-C1EE-FAE0-7D6A-37A5D5DC94FA}"},

	{"desktopAppId": "{6D809377-6AF0-444B-8957-A3773F02200E}\\RFgen51\\RFCLT510.exe"}

]

}

    I was able to solve this issue by changing to DesktopAppPath and giving the path to the executables. I also changed the pinnedList to use desktopAppId which still uses the AMUID. Here is my full working config file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <AssignedAccessConfiguration

    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AssignedAccess/2017/config"

    xmlns:rs5="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AssignedAccess/201810/config"

    xmlns:win11="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AssignedAccess/2022/config">

    <Profiles>

    <Profile Id="{a3217095-d9c7-4a51-8a53-70927ea6c514}">

    	<AllowedApps>
    
    	  <App DesktopAppPath="C:\Program Files\Zscaler\ZSATray\ZSATray.exe" />
    
    	  <App DesktopAppPath="C:\Program Files\RFgen51\RFCLT510.exe" rs5:AutoLaunch="true" />
    
        </AllowedApps>
    
      </AllAppsList>
    
      <win11:StartPins>
    
        <![CDATA[{

      </win11:StartPins>
