Changing ATC airline?

So, as I'm adding liveries, I've found that sometimes I can't change what the ATC calls me. For example, in the C-130, ATC calls me "Air Force 774." I would like it to call me "Flight N85AX." In MSFS2020, I could just change the "atc_airline" and "atc_flight_number" lines in the aircraft.cfg for the livery. In MSFS2024, I've tried adding those lines under "[FLTSIM]" in the livery.cfg (where the "atc_id" line is; but it doesn't work.
Anyone understand the new livery.cfg file well enough to help me figure out how to change what ATC calls me?
 
In MSFS2024, ATC callsigns etc. are entered into the Aircraft Identification menu. Select your aircraft, then click Configure on the bottom left of the screen, then click the Identification menu heading:

Don't forget to click Save and Back when you've made your changes!
Note that ALL aircraft will inherit these these callsign details in the sim, and that the Call sign and Flight number override the Tail number.
Therefore, if you enter a Call sign and Flight number which you then want to remove, delete each one completely and then type a single space in it's place.
