Heroic not detecting GoG games as installed

OS: Windows 10 Home 64 bit

Just installed Heroic for the first time.

In GoG I own 5 games, 2 of which are installed.

Heroic sees the games I own in GoG, but thinks all of them are not installed, so it only offers the "install" option, I can't run the two installed games (Cyberpunk 2077, and Populous the Beginning) from within Heroic.

Conversely, I have 5 games in the Epic Launcher with 1 installed (GTA 5), and here Heroic does recognise the game that is installed.

I have both Steam and GoG set up to install games in a non-default location. My memory is hazy but I think for the Epic Store you can't set a default location for future game installs, and have to set the location each time you download a new game.

Is the non-default location the reason Heroic can't find the installed GoG games, and if so is there a way to make it look in a new non-default location?
