GM whisper roll (ok I'm dumb)

Ok, so I'll admit I'm dumb,  I have searched the forums for how to whisper rolls to the GM only and i have seen time an again '/gmroll'  but when i try it doesn't work and I'm trying to figure out why. So, i am running a Pathfinder 2 game where I use the Pathfinder 2 character sheets to stat out the monsters.  i have set them up to work with minimal amount of 'during play typing' so that all the monster abilities work with a click of the button. For example in the character sheet i have the following stat write up: "dragon breathes a blast of energy that deals [[5d6]] acid, [[5d6]] cold, [[5d6]] electricity, [[5d6]] fire, and [[5d6]] poison damage in a 60-foot cone (DC 46 basic Reflex save). It can’t use Breath Weapon again for /gmroll [[1d4]] rounds " what I want the player to see is all the double bracketed formulas ([[5d6]] acid, [[5d6]] cold, [[5d6]] electricity, [[5d6]] fire, and [[5d6]] poison damage) to be quantified and shown to the player except the last one ( /gmroll [[1d4]] rounds) which is to be secret. why then is it not working?
/w GM [[1d6]] or /gmroll 1d6 you are combining the two and confusing the hamsters that roll the dice, that's how it works, no?
so, there is no way to get what im trying to do?

Try this "Dragon breathes a blast of energy that deals [[5d6]] acid, [[5d6]] cold, [[5d6]] electricity, [[5d6]] fire, and [[5d6]] poison damage in a 60-foot cone (DC 46 basic Reflex save).It can’t use Breath Weapon again for unknown number of rounds" /gmroll 1d6 rounds
