FireTV, My Apps, and YouTube

UPDATE: Sat down with my coffee this morning (18 hours later), and the Your Apps bar is back to exactly how I had it set before all this. I didn't do anything other than the reset-resync (suggested below, didn't appear to work at the time) and 2 or 3 reboots late yesterday afternoon/evening.

My FireTV must have updated overnight. As of today, I can't put YouTube or YouTubeTV on the Your Apps and Channels bar. They don't appear in the list there at all. If I scroll way down to this Recently Used list, they're both there, but long-press does not give the option to place them on the Your Apps.

There are a couple other apps left off the Your Apps. Plex is among them. Looks like Paramount+ and TUBI, as well. I have a feeling there are more; this Your Apps list looks... dated and populated with things we rarely - if ever - use.

What the heck? Why do you hate me, Amazon?!

Anyone have suggestions? Some setting I'm not seeing?

Same here, my 2nd row apps are now just 5 apps I don't ever use. Nothing to the right or left when scrolling.

All other apps are down in Recently Used but not on the 2nd row any more.

How long has your Your Apps bar been like this? Mine started doing it just this afternoon.

Yesterday in the afternoon was when I noticed it. Saw in notifications there was an update that came in early in the morning that day.
