.NET Core API Log correlation not showing in transactions

Elastic Observability Logs
1

Hi I'm trying to make log correlation work on my NET Core API.
I'm using NLog following the documentation. I'm getting the traceID and transactionID in the logs in my console and logfile but I have zero logs in any APM Transactions.
What am I missing?

Here is my NLog config
