No idea.
Some time ago I did some experiments exactly following the code in the
Kindle Publishing Guidelines and never got it to work, however, this might have been due to an outdated Kindle for iOS version. (Enhanced Kindle books only work with iOS Kindle apps and current Kindle Fire models.)
Have you tried to implement the code examples from the guidelines?

The official Amazon compiler,
KindleGen, always creates hybrid AZW3/Mobi7 files with the extension .mobi regardless of the content and adds the proper extension depending on the device/app of the buyer upon delivery.
Since this is an Amazon/Kindle specific question, you may want to re-post it in the
Kindle formats forum.
