Getting 1Password SSH to work inside distrobox when `$HOME` has been modified

per the title, if I create a distrobox but don't modify where $HOME points to, then 1Password actually works just fine. When I change where $HOME is though, it stops working. Not sure why, and I could use a second pair of eyes to help!
Solution:
ok, so the problem I was having was the ~/.1password/agent.sock file. I had tried copying it into the new home directory, but it actually needs to be symlinked instead
