Zone Component Load Summary RH Input

I am trying to perform an estimated load calculation using OpenStudio/EnergyPlus.

I have set the Humifying Setpoint Schedule and Dehumidifying Setpoint Schedule in the 'Thermal Zones' tab of OpenStudio. And I have configured the design day variants of these schedules.

However, when I perform a sizing calculation, it seems that the Zone Relative Humidity [%] reported in the 'Zone Component Load Summary' section of the EnergyPlus report doesn't align with the schedules provided.

Am I doing this correctly? I'm familiar with OpenStudio application/SDK as well as E+ so help in any avenue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
