@netsk01 - It's probably missing the ImportConfig.xml

When you create a package via CLI, e.g.: pac package init --outputDirectory DeploymentPackage
This should result in the following structure:

C:.
└───DeploymentPackage
    │   DeploymentPackage.csproj
    │   PackageImportExtension.cs
    │
    └───PkgAssets
            ImportConfig.xml
            manifest.ppkg.json
