It's saving the file name just fine but it's not giving me the right title when the file gets to my device. I'm going to assume that it's the metadata that isn't getting properly set with my zippy custom field.

To help, we need to know exactly what is going wrong.
When you say you are not seeing the right title, what are you looking at? Is it your device? Are you looking at the folder/file names, or at some library display the device shows? How are you sending the books to the device?
If you are looking at file paths, then the plugboard has no effect. To insert #custom_title into a file path, you must use #custom_title somewhere in your device's save template.
If you are looking at a device-generated library display, then we need to know where the device gets the information it is displaying. Some get it from the file path, in which case we fall back to the case above. Some get it from an internal database, which raises the question about where the data in the database comes from. Others get it from metadata, in which case Manichean's question is key. Some formats don't have settable metadata and DRM-infested books usually don't have settable metadata.
Back to you ...
