4k movies with multiple Audio Tracks doesn't play chosen track

Server Version#: 1.18.4
Player Version#: Plex For LG 4.21.2 / webOS 4.7.0

To avoid constant freezing and buffering, and be able to watch 4k movies, I have to be specific which Audio Track would play to avoid transcoding. 5.1 plays fine, while 7.1 doesn;t

I tried on multiple occasions, get a Russian rip which has multiple Audio Track, including English 5.1, but it wouldn’t be primary track. I would choose English 5.1 Audio track to use in Plex App, but it would still only play primary Russian language track which is also 5.1

It feels like a bug in Plex where, it would pick up first available audio track with 5.1, ignoring the fact that I choose the 5.1 track which is 3 tracks down the list

The Windows Plex Player picks up correct Audio Track btw. so the issue is only with smart-tv player
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

You can fix that issue with a software called MKVToolNix, it’s free.
