BeyondTrust PRA Appliance Syslog Over TLS via Input Config

So we are trying to send Syslog from our BeyondTrust PRA Appliance to Splunk. We have validated via the SSL/TLS test that the connection is good. I have the cert at both sides so this appears to be okay. We do not see the evens in the index though.

Configured inputs.conf in the /local folder as follows:

[tcp-ssl://6514]
disabled = false

[SSL]
requireClientCert = false
serverCert = /opt/splunk/etc/auth/custom/combined.cer
sslVersions = tls1.2
cipherSuite = AES256-SHA

We have the input setup in the web interface and have the correct index and source defined. No events coming in though. I've seen several articles from multiple years back on configuring this. The TLS handshake works, what are we missing? Thanks in advance!

FYI: Tried this over UDP using a non TLS input and the data comes in fine, but when we try with SSL it never shows up in the index.

Also, I did look at the metrics.log and it shows the connections from the server sending the logs, but nothing still in the index. Below is an example of the connection (I have x'd out the IP)
