Help getting Covers to display on Kindle Colorsoft via USB with Calibre.

Is there any way to keep a KFX file as an “ebok” tag while also keeping the covers on the Kindle Colorsoft?

Hi. I am wondering if there is a way to have Kindle book covers display on sideloaded books for the Colorsoft if the file is in KFX format with the ebok tag. So far, I’ve read that in order to display covers on the Colorsoft for books transferred via USB, you need the file to be a pdoc KFX file. But I was wondering if there was a workaround for this, as pdocs do not have Goodreads integration. What about mobi or azw3? Thank you!

By the way, I have tried the GitHub Kindle Cover script and the Kindle Cover Fixer Plug-in for Calibre. Neither is working.
