LoRa Cover on ESP32

I have a firebeetle LoRa cover on a firebeetle ESP32 and I'm trying to connect to TTN via LMIC. I came across a post that explained the LMIC pins required however when I jumped the pins and uploaded the examples under MCCI LoRaWAN LMIC library, both ttn-otaa and ttn-adp, the board boot cycled. The issue is with D5 to DIO1, when this is unplugged it doesn't boot cycle but it also doesn't connect to TTN.

has anyone been successful in attaching a firebeetle LoRa cover with firebeetle ESP32 to TTN? 

Pin Mapping For LMIC

const lmic_pinmap lmic_pins = {
.nss = 27, //D4 MUST jumper from CS
.rxtx = LMIC_UNUSED_PIN,
.rst = 25, //D2 MUST jumper from RST
.dio = {26, 9, LMIC_UNUSED_PIN}, //D3 Jumper to DIO0, D5 Jumper to DIO1

Boot Cycle Output
