Mac App Attempting to Install on Computers Outside of Scope?

Hi-

We currently have a pretty small library of apps provisioned from our purchasing volume that are meant to be scoped to specific computers. I have most of those apps configured to install automatically rather than via self service because each app is supposed to be installed on specific machines that really shouldn't ever be without them. The apps are scoped to the specific machines they are meant to appear on via static computer groups, but for some reason each machine in my fleet is being pestered with "App Install - [Mac App]" MDM commands that are marked "Pending - All licenses are in use or the license is not assigned yet." Obviously, it's not a huge deal since only the scoped machines appear to be getting the license from the VPP and installing the app, but I am confused why these commands are being sent to machines that are out of scope for the app? Is there anything I need to do other than make sure the scope is correct for each Mac App?

Nevermind, I am dumb. For some reason the policies were scoped to "Specific machines, all users" and the "all users" scope completely overrode the scope for "specific machines." Now the scope appears to be correct.
