Cannot create a game referral link

Does anyone know why I can't create a game/app referral link anymore? When I go to a game which should be eligible for the referral, it does not give me the option to refer it to a friend. Also, when I use the new Horizon Meta app and go to Referrals, it only gives me the option to refer the headset to a friend. There is supposed to be an "Apps" header that I can select at the top of the page but it's not there. Also, within my headset it's telling me that I don't have any eligible games for referral which definitely is not the case as I've created many in the past and they have worked just fine. Has anyone else experienced this and/or have a solution?

I fulfill all the requirements. The game I was trying to send the referral link was Moss 2.
