Entries are being orphaned

[RyanHx]

BepInEx 5.4.21 x64

I'm making a plugin that lets the user assign a label to an object and saving their input using BepInEx's config manager:

input = GUILayout.TextField(input);
if (GUILayout.Button("Submit"))
{
    Plugin.ConfigInstance.TryGetEntry(
        $"World.{guid}",
        storageIndex.ToString(),
        out ConfigEntry<string> entry
    );
    if (entry != null)
    {
        entry.Value = input;
    }
    else
    {
        Plugin.ConfigInstance.Bind($"World.{guid}", storageIndex.ToString(), input);
    }
    this.enabled = false;
}

I have SaveOnConfigSet set to true and tried a couple of test submissions which saved to the config file successfully:

[World.51cec5e8-76b4-4926-a00c-f3f936d14233]
# Setting type: String
# Default value: 1234
18890 = 1234

# Setting type: String
# Default value: test2
18887 = test2

When the player later hovers their crosshair over this object I hook the method that gets the "Interact" HUD text and add their label to it:

Plugin.ConfigInstance.TryGetEntry(
    $"World.{guid}",
    boxIndex.ToString(),
    out ConfigEntry<string> entryMaybe
);
if (entryMaybe != null && !entryMaybe.Value.IsNullOrEmpty())
{
    __result += $"\n{entryMaybe.Value}";
}

All of this works fine during a single play session. However when I restart the game the Entries property inside the ConfigFile is empty, and both entries have been moved to OrphanedEntries. How can I prevent this from happening? I read that entries are only orphaned if Bind isn't called on them, but I use that method to create them and they're saved, should they not be loaded back into Entries the next time I start the game? Since all the values are set at runtime I can't Bind everything inside my plugin Awake method, so I'm not sure how to keep them 'active' so to speak. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Moving the issue over to the main BepInEx repo as it's not the config manager gui.
