my own misunderstanding around panning stereo tracks + send panning signal routing?

- video explaining my confusion/situation (S1 6.6.4)

the situation:

1. i have a stereo piano instrument track running S1's native Presence piano. it has insert fx and sends. it is panned using the track pan, to the hard right.
2. one of the sends on this track is going to an FX channel running a reverb. it is panned on the track to the hard left ("Raum Reverb"). as below:

what im trying to do: i am trying to record track 39 WITHOUT the sends baked in. i do this typically by mixdown selection or ghost record, and make sure the sends are deactivated. in this case you hear a dry piano on the right.

the problem: when i grab the sends and plop them on the resulting audio on track 40, or 41, i do NOT hear the raum reverb on the left. you can see in the screenshot i tested making the channel 'mono' - and it sounds then similar to track 39 (the original instrument track) but the volume is lower. if i leave the track as stereo, i just hear nothing.

i've uploaded a youtube video here explaining the situation. can anyone explain what i'm missing here? could be a lack of understanding in signal routing or panning for stereo tracks?

thanks in advance

i figured out how to solve this, but there's still a bit of...oddness? the thing i had to learn was how Stereo Tracks handle panning in S1. by default they are 'Balance'. i did not even know this was a thing!! AND FX SENDS have dual pan...

well, so then i did the following to solve it:
- i ghost recorded the Instrument track to a stereo track. i left the stereo track as the regular pan setting (Balanced).
- i switched the pan setting FOR THE SEND to "Dual Pan" and panned that hard left.

this worked. but...there is still one odd thing. the ghost recorded track (audio track) -- if i change it to dual pan, it now centers the audio as if it is mono - despite having only audio on the right channel! can anyone explain this?

i have panning automation for some of the tracks which has me a wee bit worried that i have to muck about with the send pan laws now, im not sure how that will affect the automation.

i dont quite understand why stereo audio tracks would work with send panning differently than instrument/midi tracks, this should be streamlined, no?
