External library videos + xmp sidecar

I have some .mov videos on an external library that have an incorrect date on their exif tags.

I'm trying to get immich to display them at the correct location on the timeline.

To fix this, I first updated the Create/Modified date of the file in the FS, and then created .XMP sidecars with the correct date. However, after re scanning the external library and doing a "sync" and a "discover" for the sidecars, it still shows up at the wrong date.

Am I doing something wrong here?
