Adding kicad footprint asset to Footprint object does not import footprint

I am following the steps here to import a kicad library part into flux: https://docs.flux.ai/tutorials/tutorial-import-part
I started the import with the .lib file. This worked fine and a new Flux part was created. I then added the "object-specific rules" kicad footprint asset under the Footprint object in the PCB view. The footprint showed up on the PCB view fine. I wanted to delete some of the imported text layers on the footprint which were not needed, so I deleted the Footprint object entirely on the PCB view. I added back another Footprint object and repeated the add "object-specific rules" kicad footprint asset step. But not the footprint does not show up on the PCB canvas.
Is adding "object-specific rules" kicad footprint asset only supported one time? I tried restoring my project to the original state after I imported the .lib file, but had no luck.

Silently failing to parse a KiCad footprint file
Robert Herbst
This project has what appears to be a valid Footprint file but it silently fails to apply the asset rule to the footprint.
Upon further inspection, we're failing to parse the KiCad file. It's not clear WHY we're failing as this appears to be a valid Footprint file.
kicad-to-json seems to not like the (generator pcb_new) expression for some reason.
