Remap source is recording from the wrong mic in pipewire

I am using pipewire with pipewire-pulse. I added these lines to the context.exec section of pipewire-pulse.conf:

{ path = "pactl" args = "load-module module-null-sink sink_name=virtspk sink_properties=device.description=Virtual_Speaker" }
{ path = "pactl" args = "load-module module-remap-source master=virtspk.monitor source_name=virtmic source_properties=device.description=Virtual_Microphone" }

And it created the virtual speaker and microphone just fine. But for some reason, the remap-source is recording from my physical mic instead of the virtual speaker's monitor. I can change the virtual mic to record from the virtual speaker in pavucontrol but every time I reboot it resets. I don't understand why that is happening since I specified the master to be the virtual speaker's monitor in the second command. Any help would be appreciated.
