No Throttle in Auto Mode with DroneCAN ESC

I am having issues with a Pixhawk Cube Orange+ running Arduplane V4.5.4 using a Hargrave MicroDrive LP over DroneCAN. I have Manual mode working great on the standard Throttle Channel 3. I have all failsafes disabled and all the auto/forced ARM options enabled I can find and it still is not allowing a throttle output when switched into auto mode. I can fake out the error if I power on the Pixhawk and flip the RC into auto mode during boot up, but this will only allow auto with throttle if enabled during this boot up sequence. It will run u til the mission ends or put into manual mode, then no throttle in auto. After boot up it will not apply throttle once in AUTO mode (or RTL, or any other mode other than manual)

I get a CAN[124] DISARMED message in the Messages tab in Mission Planner. I have exhausted modifying all internal settings in the Hargrave ESC such as disabling "DroneCAN Require Armed Msg”.

I have a demo this Thursday and really trying hard to have this run in AUTO mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I have .bin files from the Cube I will post links for showing the attempted auto issue. One is of attempting Auto with no success, and the other is the forced auto during startup.
