mbpfan.service works great, but not starting on boot #255

TL;DR
mbpfan runs spectacularly well on my 2015 base model MacBook Pro 13. The service ALMOST never starts at boot though.

I am running Arch Linux on Endeavour OS. I installed the AUR package through yay -S mbpfan-git

I followed the following steps to install the service for boot:

sudo cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/mbpfan.service /etc/systemd/system
sudo systemctl enable mbpfan.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start mbpfan.service

All steps completed with no errors or warnings.

I always check the service after a reboot, and so far, out of seemingly 30+ reboots, I have only seen the service start automatically 2 times, and at this point, I'm not even certain if those were actually reboots or just me signing out and signing back in, perhaps with the service already running in the background.

Immediately after a reboot, the service status shows as follows:

I then simply run sudo systemctl start mbpfan.service and the service starts normally.

I hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong :)
