Protobuf encoder returns empty buffer payload (3)

General
1

I see there are two other topics on this issue but I'm still having trouble getting my message to encode.
As suggested by the first topic I tried nesting the payload inside another payload. Either way I still get an empty buffer.

Proto file:
proto_config.proto

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
This is the proto file complied for python
proto_config_pb2.py
And the python code I'm trying to replicate is:

    def setTimestamp(self):
        # Serializing device config.
        device_config = proto_config_pb2.ProtoConfig()
        # Set request_device_info to true
        device_config.request_device_info = True
        # Sending current time to the sensor in order to synchronise its internal clock
        device_config.current_time = self.time
        return device_config.SerializeToString()

I think I got this working after enabling the "Keep snake_case (underscores)" :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
