Cover updates in book but not in preview

I'm using Moon+ Reader Pro for my books. I have a few books that I downloaded via fanficfare. They seem to be pulling a cover from somewhere in the book. I created a nicer cover using canva and am trying to update it to the book.

When I open the book on my device it will correctly bring up the cover I chose. However, when I look at it on my shelf/recent list, the thumbnail is the incorrect downloaded one.

Things I've done:
-Edit metadata --> browse for new cover
-In fanficfare under personal.ini I have listed make_firstimage_cover:false
-Polish books --> update the cover in book files
-Modify epub --> insert or replace cover

The epub file keeps updating, but the cover of the book just won't update. Any suggestions on what else I can try?

This problem is on the Moon Reader app?
If you use Calibre?
Book selected: Tap 'V' for view

What OS, What version of Calibre?
And how is the book getting to you Android (Moon)?

Yes, on the Moon Reader app. When I view the book on Calibre it opens with the correct cover. It also does so in Moon Reader; it's only the thumbnail version that doesn't update.

I'm Windows based. I first had the issue with Calibre 3, now I'm updated to 4.10.1. I'm transferring the book by uploading it to dropbox and opening it in Moon Reader from there.

Thank you!

This is really a Moon Reader issue

Sorry I can't be of further help, but your answers may attract someone who uses Moon your way.
( I Use Moon via Calibre Companion so I do not use its bookshelf)
A WAG: is Moon, like others, only creates a thumbnail upon Creation, not update. You would need to delete, then Add to get the Thumbnail updated
