syslog-ng mysql queue's but never writes - syslog-ng

Question

I have a mysql destination that is queueing the logs, but never writing them, I have removed explicit-commits which from my understanding is the part that tells it to enable queueing, but it still does not seem to ever write it
destination d_sql {
sql(
type(mysql)
host("<MyHost>") username("<MyUser>") password("<MyPassword>")
database("<Database>")
table("<Table>")
columns( "username" , "user_agent" , "message" , "host" , "appointment_code", "os" , "browser", "error_text", "user_id" , "ip" )
values("${json.username}" , "${json.user_agent}" , "$(format-json --scope dot-nv-pairs)" , "${json.host}" , "${appointment_code}" , "${ua_os}" , "${ua_browser}" , "${error_text}" , "${json.user_id}" , "${json.ip}" )
flags(dont-create-tables)
);
};
This destination works on our older server ( Ubuntu 18.04 with syslog-ng 3.13 ) But not on the newer server ( Ubuntu 22.04 with syslog-ng 3.35 ) I am not seeing any error's to even start digging into so any pointers would be greatly appreciated
