SS2 on Steam Deck using Bethesda.net

I can't seem to get Jake to spawn! Is there any way to force him to spawn?

Anyone else in my situation, trying to play SS2 with its chapters on a deck using bethesda.net version of the mod?

SS2 is working as I have all the HUD elements, Holo taps and received the magazine at the begining but Jake didn't spawn when I built the recruitment beacon. I'm 9 hours into this new game now so really don't want to restart.

Mods installed are a few interior exploration mods like beantown, the unofficial patch mod, K9 + best friend mods for dog meat, the sun alignment mod, see through scopes and hud framework.

Any help, like load order suggestions or console command would be much appreciated.
