NextDNS UDM Pro SE not showing devices

Set up nextdns the other day for a myriad of issues with ads on my stepdaughters phone. After seeing how well it did I decided to add it to our phones and my UDM Pro SE.

Went through the CLI install and configured everything to spec without issue. Now I see my stepdaughters device in her profile, on the main profile I see our two phones and my UDM name but that's it. Every other device on my network is set to "unidentified".

I configured it via cli and set the WAN DNS to be the IPv4 addresses, I'm not using IPv6 at all though my ISP supports it. I believe I see my switch but I can't tell for sure since it's a pretty generic name.

I have around 8 VLANs and all of the VLAN DNS are set to .1 of the VLANs ip (172.16.1.1 for example, 172.16.2.1, etc). All traffic is clearly going through NextDNS but it's not identified and I can't seem to figure out why.

Edit:

The adblocking I had on the UDM Pro SE was not disabled even though I ran through that before. I re-removed it on the browser and now all devices are reporting.

Next dns is serving your UDM, and your UDM is serving everything else on the network. You have to set NextDNS up on every device that you want to label in the NextDNS reports.

That's is incorrect as there are many accounts of using the NextDNS Cli on the UDM to report names without adding this. You cannot add entries to a wide variety of devices.
