Pocket Beagle USB Host power question

I have designed a board to use a Pocket Beagle and I want to implement USB1 as a USB Host. I have a question about how the USB1 connection is powered. I have a 5V power supply on the board, which feeds to header pin P1-1 (Vin). I have wired a USB A connector’s VBus to pins P1-5 & P1-7. The USB1 host port only shows up if I connect the Micro USB connector (USB0), but does not work when the USB0 connector is not connected. Is this wrong?

YES! That helps.

And works because I use this same connection on a board - I can share the design on Monday if you wish
