Just an update, I've done some more digging, it seems like I'm running into
an issue where its creating a new table inside the anchor, I'm thinking this
is just a bug where the table gets created because it doesn't look outside
of the anchor to see if one already exists, but I just want to get another
pair of eyes to confirm.
