Pathless layout issue

I am currently trying to create a pathlessLayout file for the majority of my application. I have a

routeFilePrefix

routeFilePrefix

routeFilePrefix

routeFilePrefix of

~

~ and I am using file based routing

Here's my file tree

packages/web-app/src/routes
├── ~__root.tsx
├── ~_app_chrome (this contains all my routes)
├── ~_app_chrome.tsx

packages/web-app/src/routes
├── ~__root.tsx
├── ~_app_chrome (this contains all my routes)
├── ~_app_chrome.tsx

packages/web-app/src/routes
├── ~__root.tsx
├── ~_app_chrome (this contains all my routes)
├── ~_app_chrome.tsx

packages/web-app/src/routes
├── ~__root.tsx
├── ~_app_chrome (this contains all my routes)
├── ~_app_chrome.tsx

Whenever I try to navigate to any route I get

Invariant failed: Could not find an active match from "/" (or whatever route I'm on)

Invariant failed: Could not find an active match from "/" (or whatever route I'm on)

Invariant failed: Could not find an active match from "/" (or whatever route I'm on)

Invariant failed: Could not find an active match from "/" (or whatever route I'm on)

Its like the router doesn't realize that

~app_chrome

~app_chrome

~app_chrome

~app_chrome is a pathless layout because on my other route files, the routes are all prepending the layout path like so:

createFileRoute('/_app_chrome/whatever-route/')

createFileRoute('/_app_chrome/whatever-route/')

createFileRoute('/_app_chrome/whatever-route/')

createFileRoute('/_app_chrome/whatever-route/')

What can I do to fix this and what do we think the issue is?
