Verified the fix on windows 10, using Mozilla VPN v 2.6.0 (2.202110210311).

While the banner is now displayed, it looks a bit out of place. We should consider moving it right under the header or at the top of the screen. (please see image below)

I have retested this today on VPN version 2.7.0 (2.202111080356) and, although the banner is now displayed, the added application is neither checked by default, nor highlighted. Is that expected?

I have added a new issue for the incorrect placement of the banners here ( https://mozilla-hub.atlassian.net/browse/VPN-1291 ) .

Thank you.
