Populate Microsoft Word Template Action / Power Automate - Last Step :( Not Working

Hello everyone. I have a flow that in the end has an action that Populates Word Template using Word Business Premium Connector and I am about to pull my hair out.

1- Below is an image of my Word Document that I am using in Populate Word Template Action. All Content Plain Text Fields & Repeating Content Fields are defined and Title & Tag fields are filled.

2- Repeating Controls are Projects & Timesheets as you can see below. Timesheets is nested within Projects.

3- In Power Automate Flow, Action I map Word File Fields. Employee Name & Week Ending Date is mapped 1 - 1. I pass variables for EmployeeName and WeekEnding. Those are written to the word document no issues. However nothing else is written and no errors are triggered either. For Projects Projects I pass JSON. See below.

4- JSON Output that goes to Word.

}

I cannot figure out what's causing it. I am not an expert on Word / Connector so really hoping for the gurus/experts to help resolve this. Thanks in advance!
