Native android app not using custom sounds for OneSignal notification

I used Kodular to make a simple app which can receive OneSignal notifications.

I've followed the OneSignal docs to the letter (I think!) and used APK Editor Studio to add icons and sounds to the corresponding folders (res/drawable-**** and res/raw). I've also added my sound files to the keep.xml as "@raw/name_of_my_file". All my sound files are mp3, are under 30 seconds, less than 1mb and are in lowercase and underscore (e.g. sound_1).

I'm testing on an Android 15 Samsung Tab and on an Android 16 Pixel 7. After sending using the REST API and the OneSignal web dashboard (using android channels, and setting sound manually) none get the custom sound, but they do get the custom vibrations and the small and large icons I added. I've tried re-reading the docs and re-compiling the APK but none have resulted.

If anyone has any idea of why this may be happening I'll be extremely thankful for your input.

Thank you!
