Custom compose config not merged

Hi,
I am trying to override the docker-compose.yml of immich and also the one of runtipi. My files seams to be totally ignored.
For Immich I have first use the dashboard (My Apps / Immich / User Config tab). It has created the file user-config/migrated/immich/docker-compose.yml (and also an empty app.env). I just try to update the source of one volume:
services:
  immich:
    volumes:
      - ${ROOT_FOLDER_HOST}/my-media-folder/data/images/immich:/usr/src/app/upload

After a full restart of Runtipi the docker-compose.yml still contains the original "volumes" config. As I don't if it should be recreated or merged somewhere else I have also checked in Immich and it still sees the same files.

I have tried also to override Runtipi config creating a file user-config/tipi-compose.yml with this content:
services:
  runtipi:
    volumes:
      - ./my-media-folder:/data/media

But this does not work either...
