I took a quick look at which icon is being used for Meta when posting a link to Slack, and it appears the `apple touch icon` is used for whatever reason (I don’t think we don’t have control over this) so setting that may help? if that’s not set it appears to fallback to `large icon`

If you’ve already updated those, it’s possible Slack caches icons and it might take a little time to see the update?
