Bubbles not posting on Volume Profile?

Hey All,
I've gotten bubbles to display correctly on other charts, but for some reason they are not displaying on the Volume Profile. Does anyone have a way to do this? I know that there is another thread asking this, but there was no traction there, so I thought I would repost the question...with the code that I started with. Maybe someone has an idea.

Thanks!
see code below


Code:

Replace the code in your script with the following
Code:
AddChartBubble(showbubble and IsNaN(close[b]) and !IsNaN(close[b1]), POC[b1], "POC", color.orange);

AddChartBubble(showbubble and IsNaN(close[b]) and !IsNaN(close[b1]), VAHigh[b1], "ValueAreaHigh", color.white);
