Problems getting PHD2 to connect to mount

Hi,
Had to re-flash yesterday last minute after trying to install an RTC module and managing to break everything by running updates on my pi. Thought I managed to grab the important files before doing so, but couldn't find the ekos settings for backup. After resetting everything up I can't get PHD2 to connect to my mount at all, and can't remember how it was setup before when it worked perfectly. 
I'm using an AZ-gti in EQ mode, connected with a EQmod cable, when setting up phd2 Selecting indi mount brings up the indi mount selection box, but it will not connect to let me pick the driver. when looking at the logs it seems to be trying to connect to my ASI120mm camera instead of the mount.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And before the use the internal guider answers, I did last night and it worked okish, but I prefer PHD2 and have more experience getting it to do what I want.

When selecting your mount the dropdown list should present you with the option 'Indi mount (EQMOD)' rather than just 'Indi mount'.

It only gave me the option for indi mount. I bit the bullet and did a whole new re-flash today, after taking a backup just in case. seems to have fixed whatever broke the first time. I'm now getting indi mount -EQMOD).
It says it's connected but also in the log at the bottom says mount connect failed. So we'll see what it does tonight. Fingers crossed
