Cannot Get Full WAF Mode Working

I am trying to configure Full WAF Mode. I am running PHP-FPM with PHP 5.6… no matter what I do, I cannot manage to get the firewall to load. Please assist. Details below.

I have manually added the auto_prepend_file to .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_env.c>
SetEnv PHPRC /home/username/public_html/php.ini
</IfModule>

I have manually added the php.ini locations to my .htaccess file but it is still pulling the default php.ini from the server:

suphp_configpath /home/username/public_html/php.ini

The auto_prepend_file has been added but doesn’t show up in ninjacheck.php:

; BEGIN NinjaFirewall
auto_prepend_file = /home/username/public_html/wp-content/nfwlog/ninjafirewall.php
; END NinjaFirewall

Results from ninjacheck.php:
