How to install 2 of the same app on same HF

I am utilizing the Graph API TA in order to pull in logs but I need to utilize a second installment of the same app on the same HF in order to pull in federal logs.  This is due to the fact that the original app is pointing to .com addresses and need to be pointed to .us addresses.  when I install the "copied app" it will not load or display the config screen. Does anyone know what needs to be changed within the app to make this possible? I tried just renaming the folder so that it would be a "Graph app_B" but the TA will not load after making this change. Is there any other .conf file that requires adjustment? Please be as specific as possible. Thanks!!

In addition to renaming the second copy of the app, you may also need to modify the copy's default/app.conf file to change the 'label' and 'id' attributes to unique values.

I changed those values and the app still will not load for some reason, I am running out of ideas. is there anywhere else where this would need to be changed?

Hard to say not knowing the app's internals. And sorry to rant a bit here, but knowing the app's been written by Microsoft, you can expect any weird things inside (and it's not just bashing on MS for bashing's sake - for example, Microsoft's RPM packages are the only ones I ever saw requiring console interaction during installation making them effectively not upgradeable in any reasonably administered production environment).
