Trying to add Chatify to existing app

Hi I am trying to add Chatify to an existing app, I have a chat.blade in my app already, so I have set chatify route to chat, thewn used

  @include('vendor.Chatify.pages.app')

I had to make some tweaks to get the user id and colours to work, I then realised this is pulling the chatify header into my app, I already have a dark/light switch, so I tried adding the content's of the app.php file from chatify to my chat.blade leaving the layout tags, and then merging the header code from chatify to my app header, everything displayed properly, however, the chat didn't function, click on user nothing changed, could this be an issue with the order of my js scripts, has anyone managed to add chatify to a project? what method did you use?

thanks
