Beacon_Initial_Calibration failing on new build

setup

I just built my first rat rig. A V-Core 4 500 IDEX. I am going through the commissioning guide and I am having an issue where the bed doesn't stop when I do the BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION command. X and Y home fine, but the bed moves up and never stops. The LED on the beacon lights up when the bed is 20-25mm away, and I have to E-stop a couple mm before it crashes into the toolhead.

I have tried switching the USB port it is plugged into and moved it from the hub hat to the pi and back again. no change.

I have also noticed I get a "no beacon model loaded" error if I do these exact steps:

1. M18 and center the toolheads
2. SET_CENTER_KINEMATIC_POSITION
3. Move the bed using the controls on the dashboard
4.BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION

The X and Y will home, then it will stop and throw the error.

If I do anything but step 3, it doesnt give the error. I have to restart the machine to get the command to go through to moving the bed towards the beacon.
