Aura/Tint HealthColors always setting Aura2 of NPCS to the colour of the DM

Hello, So, as the title reads, I'm having trouble with the Aura/Tint HealthColors API. It was working fine last week, but I noticed yesterday when I was preparing a session, that it set Aura2 of NPCS to be my own DM colour. The colour does not change if I decrease or increase the value, it only changes after I change my own colour, and then  change its health - to which, it'll then change to my new colour. I tested this out in another Roll20 on the side, and I, eventually, after a bit of toying around, came to the same issue, shortly after importing the most recent version of the code (which the original Roll20 game didn't have). There was no other APIs, the closest being BetteRoll20 and VTTES, but for the second Roll20, I believed I had them disabled. The auras still work perfectly as intended on Player Characters however, so I know it's only a DM side issue. I'm not sure if anyone can help, but if it's possible, I'd really appreciate it, otherwise I just might have to use the script that makes it so it only effects Aura1 - which isn't too bad, but admittedly I just like the original look of the health colors, and so does everyone else. Thank you!

The HealthColors mod has not been changed in 3 years. It would not surprise me that recent changes lead to this behavior. The code determines whether a character is a player character by checking the controlled by settings. Recently the charactervault functionality changed. Now characters that are exported from the vault into a game will have the controlledby field set to the person that initiated this export. I use a modified version of HealthColors where all code touching aura2 has been removed.
Ah, cheers. I just noticed that other people still commonly use it, and not seeing another post on the same topic, I was just unsure if it was just a me-problem hahahaha. Thanks for the help!
