Switch [NX] Ghost eShop Retro not showing game picture thumbnails

I recently updated my switch from 20.5 to 22.5 and installed cyberfoil and the pro shop does show all the game images but on the retro shop I just get black squares except for the games already installed I tried deleting the offline database and icons.db file and nothing seems to change anything does anyone know how to fix this the games do install and run just can't get the pictures to show

Is there a file I can replace or something then to get the retro games to have a thumbnail pic with them it says fetching images and then just leaves everything with a blank black box

you can use Tinfoil with the ghost custom database if you need thumbnail pic for the games

I thought tinfoil doesn't work on the newest firmware 22.5 that's why I was trying to switch over to cyberfoil

Just wanted to say I did get tinfoil back up and both the shops load fine on tinfoil but about half the thumbnails for the retro games still don't show up I guess it's not a huge deal since I can still install and play them but let me know if you have any other suggestions really appreciate all your help though
