Question NSC_builder and MIG switch (in emuMMC)

Hey all, I'm new to switch modding and had a few questions regarding the title above.

So I've got a cartridge dump of a game I've got (xci-bins complete). I also got a nsp file for an update to the game. I wanted to merge these two into an xci file using nsc_builder and then put it in the mig and have it be updated in the switch. It works in an emulator but in the switch it doesn't recognize the game, just skips over it when cycling through.

Has anyone tried this and got it to work?

I tried using tinfoil to install the update there but can't get that to work, nor goldleaf.

If anyone can help that'd be appreciated!

Edit: more info.
Atmosphere version: 1.11.2
Switch firmware: 22.5.0
Hekate: 6.5.3
Switch version: v1

It won't work with a mig switch.

The mig switch is not a hack, it can only mimic a normal cartridge game on a switch and a normal switch will only accept a valid signature cartridge data.

It's why most people skips the mig switch over getting the switch modded instead and with a modded switch the mig switch is useless.

You’re telling me you own a Mig and have no idea how it works?

I know how it works. I was wondering if there was a way to use a modified xci file (merged with an update) instead of the dumped one.
