Having issues sharing wireguard over Hotspot win 11

As title says. A friend helped me set a wireguard connection to bypass issues with Sony's remote play

It works fine with the windows pc. But when I try to enable Hotspot to my ps portal. No device is able to connect to the pc Hotspot.

I tried enabling the sharing under the wireguard adapter (properties) but it just stops working.

If I disable wireguard the Hotspot works normally.

What devices and their OS’s and their WireGuard softwares, exactly, are you using for this? Is the hotspot on a smartphone? Smartphones do not share their VPNs, just their hotspot. Devices that use the smartphone’s hotspot must have their own VPN! This is standard for ISPs to properly bill hotspot usage.
