Custom VSCode syntax embedded string highlighting, coloured punction and brackets

I am currently trying to develop a VSCode syntax highlighting for my custom language. The main problem im having is that when trying to highlight interpreted strings, I can't figure out how to highlight the outer brackets as done via the language-configuration.json

Expected Colouring

Actual Colouring

If you run editor.action.inspectTMScopes
you'll see that the standard token type has changed to String
which disables bracket pair highlighting

you can use the scope meta.embedded to reset the standard token type back to Other
re-enabling bracket pair highlighting

you can space separate the scopes if you don't want to combine them
