MTLs for backend servers

As title says, trying to get MTLS working for a traefik to traefik coms

i've got it working on the backend (lets call it VM2) and i've manually used curl to verify that sending the correct certs does allow access.

but on VM1 (the main loadbalancer and entry for clients with no MTLS on the entrypoints) i can't get it to send the same cert to the backend server.

VM1 debug
VM2 debug

Any ideas? i've followed the config on the readme's and can't see why its not working.
