logrotate on ubuntu 20.04.4 won't run *my config* in systemd

I have a a few processes that output logs to /var/tmp/ and /tmp/. I am trying to get logrotate to work on them using a file I have put in /etc/logrotate.d/. One set of files is generated by rsyslog utility (where I capture the output and act on it on a separate script)

For the life of me , I can't figure out why logrotate in systemd never runs my config. Manual running always works with no errors.

# laxfw logrotate files - an addition to rsyslog logrotate

    prerotate
        /usr/local/laxfw/laxfw.prerotate.sh "$1"
    endscript 
    postrotate
        /usr/local/laxfw/laxfw.postrotate.sh "$1"
    endscript
}

    endscript 
    postrotate
        /usr/local/laxfw/laxfw.postrotate.sh "$1"
    endscript
}

I have tried moving the logs to different directories. I have changed the apparmor permissons to these files. I have added prerotate and posrotate scripts that will capture attempts

Running with --debug or --verbose yields nothing I can find.

What am I missing?
