Monitor Istio Prometheus Metrics on EKS for Service Mesh Insights

Does anyone have experience with bringing in Istio metrics from EKS into Dynatrace?
I'm trying to get more Istio visibility into Dynatrace follow the directions listed here:
https://{environmentid}.apps.dynatrace.com/ui/apps/dynatrace.hub/browse/all?search=istio&sortCapabilitiesBy=most-relevant&details=com.dynatrace.extension.istio-prometheus
This is a screenshot of the extension that shows what the Istio Data Plane metrics look like.

Here is what mine looks like:

I'm wondering if anyone else has set this up or knows anything about this topic?
I've added these annotations to the deployments of: istio-ingressgateway, istiod, my sample app I'm working with.
I'm able get all kinds of envoy metrics when I run this curl from inside of one of the sample app pods, but no istio metrics, which would explain why my istio-data plane dashboard in dynatrace doesn't show these istio_request_total metrics.
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:15090/stats/prometheus
That same dashboard shows me when new destination rules or virtual services are added/deleted, so I know it's picking up on some stuff (as well as the fact that I get Istio Control plane metrics, like these below):
