Property x5c has invalid value X5C must have at least one valid item still an issue

Question

I am getting the following error trying to merge an SSL cert with the item I created in Key Vault to get the CSR for the order.

Error information
CODE
BadParameter

MESSAGE
Something went wrong with the certificate creation.

RAW ERROR
Property x5c has invalid value X5C must have at least one valid item

I found the below linked question but the solution does not work as my cert has the documented solution and I still get the error.

I have put a comment on that question as well as raising this one to try and get a response to the issue.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/713593/got-the-error-while-merging-the-certificate-in-azu.html

So I am looking for a solution so I can import the certificate and create the additional items required for the web site.
