I noticed today that adding a component into a route via the new recommended method does not work when using this theme modifier.

```javascript
import { apiInitializer } from "discourse/lib/api";
import welcomeBanner from "../components/welcome-banner";

export default apiInitializer("1.8.0", (api) => {
  api.renderInOutlet("custom-homepage", welcomeBanner);
});

```

The only way it works is `javascripts/connectors/custom-homepage/welcome-banner.hbs`
