Android Manifest doest match Project Settings

I am building a project for upload to the Meta Developer Hub using the Oculus 5.1 UE Source version of the Engine.

One of the sdk requirements for packaging and uploading is for the apk to be built with SDK 32 or below.

My Android project settings are pointed to min 30 max 32.

When I build my project it builds successfully. But the AndroidManifest it builds doesnt match my project settings…

After review of my log I am able to see this …

Manifest snippet…

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="33"
    android:targetSdkVersion="33" />

I am trying to understand what is defining the SDK/NDK and overwriting my project settings to the manifest. Any help much appreciated.
