According to the Arch Wiki you need to place the .desktop file in:

~/.config/autostart/*****.desktop

You also need to add the following line to the .desktop file:

X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

But that's probably the hard way to do it, I think the settings panel should also have a Startup Application tab.

Thanks for looking that up. That’s where my desktop file is located. And it has the X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true line. The settings panel does have a Startup Application tab, and that’s what I used. It created the .desktop file in the appropriate location.

Check your journald and/or make your script log it's actions.

Script > ~/script.log

Thank for your help. Upon looking at it again I noticed the one filepath that relied on my profile being loaded. Corrected that. Works now.
