Issue with Parametric PLCs Using Incorrect Block File Names

'm working with parametric PLCs in AutoCAD Electrical and using the PLC Database File Editor to create a custom symbol. Specifically, I'm modifying both the vertical and horizontal modules.
However, I've encountered an issue:
- When I insert a vertical parametric PLC, it pulls in the horizontal block file names I’ve modified.
- Similarly, when I insert a horizontal parametric PLC, it seems to reference the vertical block file names.
To test, I modified the HP1WA-DL file, which I understand is supposed to be used for horizontal PLCs. However, it ends up being used when I select a vertical PLC instead.
See the screenshots below for reference:
To demonstrate this, I added the file name as text to the file itself. For example, my HP1WA-DL file includes visible text that says "HP1WA-DL." As you can see in the screenshots, when I choose the vertical insert of style 1, it incorrectly pulls in the horizontal file. The last screen shot is what is inserted.
Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone know if there’s a setting or configuration I might have missed?
