Replay data not from the right contract month

I'm using the replay feature from a day in Nov 2021. My charts have always automatically used the most active contract at that time but now one of them isn't. The current contract symbol is ZBH22_FUT_CBOT. At that time the most active contract was ZBZ21_FUT_CBOT. One of my charts is showing data from the active month at that time (which they always seem to do) but another is showing data from the most recent contract which was not the most active contract at that time. I assume this is some sort of continuous rollover issue but I can't seem to fix it. The chart settings on both charts look the same.

How can I get this fixed? Thank you.

We are not really understanding this. Given what you are stating, it would imply that you do NOT have the Continuous Contract setup for your charts, but for the one that is showing you the previous contract the Continuous Contract is setup.

Keep in mind, if you have your chart setup as a Continuous Contract, then when you go back in time, you are going to replaying the data from the active contract at that time. You can always view where the contracts rolled over by using the option Chart >> Show Rollover Dates. Refer to the information here:
Chart Menu: Show Rollover Dates (Chart menu)

Also refer to the information for Continuous Contracts here:
