Does USBToolBox have trouble with thunderbolt controllers?

Hi,

I just noticed something about my USB Mapping for Asus Z790 ProArt, Sonoma 14.5. I used USBToolBox to do the map.

There are two type C connectors on the motherboard, one is type 10, one is type 9 oddly enough.

In IOReg I see that the USBToolBox map is being ignored for the tb USB controller. Sonoma is just doing its own thing without my UTBMap kext, including setting one of the ports as type 9 even though it is actually type 10 (that is what I observed in Windows when doing the map). I can see why it is being ignored, as USBToolBox in Windows sees the thunderbolt path as 

_SB.PC00.RP05.PXSX.TBDU.XHCI

In windows device mgr the path is indeed _SB.PC00.RP05.PXSX.TBDU.XHCI

In IOReg we see path as some string that is tough for me to decode, but something like

PC00.RP05.UPSB.DSB2.XHC3

Also I am using a SSDT-TB4-RP05, and not sure if that can impact something in this regards.

In any case, any idea on what could be going on here? Should I avoid USBToolBox for this reason and just use CorpNewt's USBMap?

thanks
