Kali VM Monitor Mode Failure

[Hokkaido557]

Hi there, firstly thank you for your work and for helping people with this creation. I may be doing something wrong however and am unsure if someone would be able to help.
I have installed my TP Link Archer T2U Plus with the RTL8821AU drivers as seen here :

PHY Interface Driver Chipset

null wlan0 8812au TP-Link Archer T2U PLUS [RTL8821AU]

My wifi adapter is on wlan0, and works as it should even attempting to connect to my Wi-Fi network. I've tried multiple methods to set it to monitor mode, including your own, however after killing the necessary processes, I am greeted with this before being asked to change address, channel, txpower. I deny all the change prompts, which later brings a message that monitor mode has been enabled as seen below

 start-mon.sh 20230305

 WiFi Interface:
          wlan0

DORMANT = up but inactive.

Ready for Monitor Mode use.

You can place this terminal in
the background while you run any
applications you wish to run.

Press any key to exit... ^C

However, checking with airmon-ng, the only change is the name of the interface and not its mode.

wlan0mon unassociated Nickname:"WIFI@REALTEK"
Mode:Managed Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated

I run Kali through a VM with 2 network options, one being my laptop's wifi card and the second being a bridged adapter to my TP Link if that's of any help. I've tried nearly every way to set this USB to Monitor mode with nothing working. Any help is greatly appreciated!
