What happened?

I have this configuration in screens:

#                     +------------+ 
#                     |  Surface   |
#                     |    Win11   |
#                     +------------+ 
#  +-----------+ +------------+ +------------+ 
#  |    iMac   | |  RPI       | | LT S3      |
#  | Monterey  | |  Raspian   | | Win11      |
#  +-----------+ +------------+ +------------+ 
#  +-----------+ +------------+ +------------+
#  |LT S2      | |  LT Main   | |PC          |
#  | Win11     | |   Win11    | |  Mint      |
#  +-----------+ +------------+ +------------+

my config file looks like this

section: screens
	Onyx.local:
		halfDuplexCapsLock = false
		halfDuplexNumLock = false
		halfDuplexScrollLock = false
		xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
		preserveFocus = false
		switchCorners = none 
		switchCornerSize = 0
	rpi-400.local:
		halfDuplexCapsLock = false
		halfDuplexNumLock = false
		halfDuplexScrollLock = false
		xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
		preserveFocus = false
		switchCorners = none 
		switchCornerSize = 0
	mikek-pro8.local:
		halfDuplexCapsLock = false
		halfDuplexNumLock = false
		halfDuplexScrollLock = false
		xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
		preserveFocus = false
		switchCorners = none 
		switchCornerSize = 0
	mike-Surface-Pro.local:
		halfDuplexCapsLock = false
		halfDuplexNumLock = false
		halfDuplexScrollLock = false
		xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
		preserveFocus = false
		switchCorners = none 
		switchCornerSize = 0
	surface-pro-3.local:
		halfDuplexCapsLock = false
		halfDuplexNumLock = false
		halfDuplexScrollLock = false
		xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
		preserveFocus = false
		switchCorners = none 
		switchCornerSize = 0
end

section: aliases
	Onyx.local:
	    iMac
	rpi-400.local:
          rpi
      mikek-pro8.local:
          LT
      mike-Surface-Pro.local:
          SP5
      surface-pro-3.local:
          SP3
end

section: links
	iMac:
		right = rpi
            down = LT
	rpi:
		left = iMac
		down = LT
            right = LT
	LT:
		right = SP5
		up = rpi
            left = LT
	SP5:
		left = LT
            up = LT
	SP3:
		down = rpi
end

section: options
	relativeMouseMoves = false
	screenSaverSync = true
	win32KeepForeground = false
	clipboardSharing = true
	switchCorners = none 
	switchCornerSize = 0
end

Is this configuration possible? Based on the advanced config sample I thought it should work
But the down to LT always goes to the main screen instead of the screens in order.
