Issue running samba-ad-dc on RL8 with the NIST 800-171 policy enabled

I’m having an issue trying to get the Samba DC running with a security policy enabled. Fresh minimal VM install from the DVD image, I download and unzip the .tar, run the bootstrap.sh for Centos8S, ./configure make make install the source (default settings), set up the systemd service, and try to run it; but I hit the following error:

The file it’s looking for exists, where it should be:
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 8192 Nov 30 14:09 /usr/local/samba/lib/private/libevents-samba4.so

Performing this exact procedure on another VM with no security policy enabled works perfectly. Setting selinux to permissive, stopping fapolicyd, and disabling FIPS mode & rebooting does not affect the results. Anybody know where I need to look to find out why this isn’t working? I’m assuming something is blocking access to that folder but I’m not sure what it would be. Thanks.
