Light group auto shut off when it shouldn't (manually turned on)

I have a light group for my backyard that consists of 2 flood light cam and 3 smart plugs connected to LED string lights. The light group is set up to auto turn off lights 5 minutes after motion is detected. The problem I have is that after I manually turn on my backyard lights - in which the bottom bar says "lights still stay on until turned off" - they still turn off after 5 minutes. I believe they're supposed to stay on until I manually turn them off. So while I'm in my backyard hanging out, my lights automatically turn off. From my testing, the lights seem to stay on past 5 minutes if I manually turn on the lights and it doesn't detect any motion. However, I feel like if I manually turn on the lights, then it detects motion, after 5 minutes of not detecting motion (like if I'm just sitting in my backyard), then the light automatically turns off. Separately, I also battery stick up cam in my backyard that is also linked to my light group. Am I doing something wrong or how can I fix this? I'd like it so that if I manually turn on the light group, they don't turn off until I switch it off manually no matter if motion is detected or not. Thanks for your help!
