Bug description

(So I'm not too sure if this fits better in morphe-patches github or morphe-manager github. Sorry if it's wrong in here)

I recently upgraded my OS, and somehow this set YouTube's minimum version to 21.03.36 when I click "uninstall updates" in the app settings. It can't get lower than this anymore.
So now when I downgrade the YouTube app to the currently recommended version by Morphe (20.51.39) using the LSposed module "CorePatch", I can patch this version without any issues. I patch using the Root Method btw (mounting).
But as soon as I reboot my device, the YouTube app updates itself to 21.03.36 again and all patches are ofc gone.

I have detached YouTube from the PlayStore using UpdateLocker and disabled automatic app updates in the PlayStore. But for some reason, something still unmounts and updates YouTube as soon as I reboot.

Do you guys have any idea what causes this and how I prevent this from happening?
I kind of want to use the recommended version and don't want to use the experimental 21.x builds.

Thank you in advance!

Version of Morphe (Manager) and the app you are patching

1.19.0-dev.11, YouTube
