Avatar not loading

Question i am trying to get my avatar to load in unity

If i put my id in before i launch the application it appears to load but if i do it the way the tutorial suggests it doesn't load

is there some sort of refresh that needs to be called if the avatar object exists in the scene already?

void Start()

{

        Oculus.Platform.Core.Initialize();
        Oculus.Platform.Users.GetLoggedInUser().OnComplete(OnGetUser);
        Oculus.Platform.Request.RunCallbacks();

    }
    private void OnGetUser(Oculus.Platform.Message<User> message)
    {

        myAvatar.oculusUserID = message.Data.ID.ToString();
        myAvatar.enabled = true;
        myAvatar.RecordPackets = true;
        myAvatar.PacketRecorded += OnLocalAvatarPacketRecorded;

}
