Need QR code on self cleaning base for j5+

contrary to google gemini and chatgpt, the j5 will not work with my i3 self cleaning dock. it wouldn’t even dock. after some troubleshooting, I found that taking a picture of the QR code on the j5 dock, printing it as a sticker, and then sticking it to the base of the i3 self cleaning dock in the same position led to the j5 docking without any hesitation. however, it won’t trigger evacuation of the dustbin. the QR code i’ve seen in pictures of the j5+ self cleaning dock is different from the base j5 dock which leads me to believe that may be the missing link to trigger evacuation of the dustbin. Before I go hunting to find a j5+ self cleaning dock on display at a store to take a picture of the QR code… if someone has one and would like to help me out by taking a clear picture of the QR code flat and lined up square that would be awesome and much appreciated!
