Computer: Mac Book Air M2
OS: Sonoma 14.5
Hardware: SEEED XIAO nRF52840 Sense
I am building my software using nRF Connect VSCode Extension, while when I select my board "xiao_ble_nrf52840_sense" it shows "No board named 'xiao_ble_nrf52840_sense' found." I am using the built-in microphone which is only available for Xiao BLE nRF52840 Sense, so I cannot use the "xiao_ble" as my board.
I know what the problem is, the board should have the name "xiao_ble/nrf52840/sense" since I can successfully build my code using the exact same build command in terminal, but with the correct board name.
My question is: Is this a bug with nRF Connect? If not, how can I change my build configuration to have the correct name? I have tried overlay but it's not working. Revision is also greyed out. I know I can just use terminal to build it, but this is very frustrating and is difficult for beginners like me.

Correct Build Command in Terminal (Works perfectly) (The only difference is board name)

Work Around I have right now:
1. Build the code with "xiao_ble" board, which will cause an error:
"/Users/user/Desktop/Zephyr/dmic/src/main.c: In function 'main':
/Users/user/zephyrproject/zephyr/include/zephyr/device.h:91:41: error: '__device_dts_ord_DT_N_NODELABEL_dmic_dev_ORD' undeclared (first use in this function)"
2. Then Go to the new build folder -> cMakeCache.txt, change BOARD and CACHED_BOARD
