coldcard direct wire not finding transactions

So here is the scenario.  I am doing some testing with a new coldcard Q.

I have created a "xPub / Watch Only Wallet" in Sparrow and this all works fine.  I am able to see and sign transactions via microSD drive.   All working on this method.

However when I plug the coldcard Q directly into the computer (changing the USB port setting to allow connection) and create a 'Connected Hardware Wallet' wallet, it can't find the transactions.  Likewise when I export the wallet json from the coldcard device and import it using 'Airgapped Hardware Wallet' I also do not see the transactions.

Should I be able to just directly connect the coldcard Q and see the transactions/balances from when it was used as a Watch Only Wallet?

somewhat confused on this, any help appreciated.
