ldap_config.py not running?

[IAmALittleTeaPot]

Hello,

I have a strange issue. if i follow https://netboxlabs.com/docs/netbox/en/stable/installation/6-ldap/ and configure everything, Nothings seems to happen.

If i make a fopar and put bad text at the start of /opt/netbox/netbox/netbox/ldap_config.py nothing seems to change.
I dont see any logs being created and I dont see any traffic to the AD LDAP server.

If I copy all the text from the ldap_config.py into the bottom of the configuration.py (Which i know is bad, which is why i am raising this question) everything seems to work. LDAP, logging, everything. I dont see anything in the messages log when restarting Netbox or the server as a whole. How can I check the execution of the other py files in this folder?

Python 3.11.9
Django 5.1.5
Netbox 4.2.3

** i validated that the files are all located in /opt/netbox/netbox/netbox and are owned by the same account with -rw--..

never mind, i found I needed to add a blank line return after the end of the existing configuration.py
