EXIF Sidecar location not used

For whatever reason immich CLI strips a ton of metadata from images on upload
So I added sidecar files - and re-run the upload and then run the meta data sync job
However, not a single location is picked up

Sidecar example:

This is as exported by osxphotos from photos app and in photos app the location shows fine
Is this not surpported? I already run the sidecar job several times, it just does not pick up the locations.
