Snapdrop doesn't seem to work when not in 2.4GHz WiFi Networks? (alien.top)

Strangely, even when the name for the other device shows nothing happens when it comes to the next step of transferring files or sending text (right-click or long-press) whenever not in 2.4GHz network whether both the devices in question are on 5GHz or 6GHz network - Is this just me or something that needs to be universally addressed with a fix?

I exclusively use 5ghz wifi for devices that support it at home. It works fine between devices on that network and between the two wifi ssids as well.
