Assembly unclassified using Kraken2 but can be identified running Blastn #835

I have an approximately 40 kb size assembly of a portion of a bacterial genome. When I run it on Kraken2 it comes out as unclassified but when I take the same sequence and run it through Blastn I get a match to a known organism. I have checked and the specific species is in my krakendb. I also ran the full genome of the same species, different strain and was to classify the organism correctly. ./kraken2 \ --db /kraken2-2.1.3/KRAKEN2_DIR/kraken2db \ --threads 8 \ --classified-out /kraken2-2.1.3/KRAKEN2_DIR/kraken2db/reports/classified_36 \ --report /kraken2-2.1.3/KRAKEN2_DIR/kraken2db/reports/new36.k2report \ --report-minimizer-data /kraken2-2.1.3/KRAKEN2_DIR/kraken2db/reports/new36mini.k2report \ --minimum-hit-groups 2 \ --confidence 0.5 \ /36_final_nobb.fasta

Is there something I am missing?
