Consent Mode V2 through GTM not working

Issue:
Cookieyes is overwriting default consent state and setting all consent levels to “denied”.

Implementation:
I have a basis plan at Cookieyes and have implemented the banner through GTM. Everything is working correctly and I know 100% that everything is set up correctly. However, Cookieyes is sending a cookie_consent_update event before having interacted with the banner. It overwrites the default and causes error in the tracking. I have no idea why it does this and how to prevent it. The default consent levels are set in the Cookieyes CMP Template, but somehow it is being overwritten.

Expected behavior:
I expect that the cookie_consent_update is only being sent at the moment that the consent has been given, or on subsequent pages. I do not expect a cookie_consent_update to overwrite my default consent.
