wslconfig file being ignored

Question

So, I've compiled WSL2-Kernel, copied bzImage to %USERPROFILE% and created a .wslconfig file there pointing to this bran new kernel. However, WSL seems to be ignoring my .wslconfig file as uname -r still shows the original version. Ane clues on this?

PS I'm running version 20H2 (OS Build 19042) on windows home edition
