Water-Cooled VRF Priority

I managed to set up a water-cooled VRF system in Open Studio, but I'm having a problem with the equipment priority order. The system has a DOAS which should be providing 65F OA at all times, and all additional heating and cooling should be coming from the VRF system. The VRF is using a ground source condenser loop.

The problem is that right now the DOAS is trying to provide all the heating. I tried to reorder the systems, but since the VRF system isn't a plant loop I can't give it priority. Does anyone know if there's a way around this? IDF file here. Thank you!
