Will-Do. In the meantime, I hope you can see this screen-shot I took of the CYVR-RPLL flight

I'm doing the flight, but already I can find a problem: When I put fuel in from the MSFS Flight Planner, I put fuel in the Center Fuel Tank. When the flight simulator starts though, the Center Fuel Tank is empty. I have to fuel it up from the iFly iPad dashboard to the left of the pilot (to the right of the copilot). It only spooled up with 52,538 kg of fuel. The SimBrief Flight Planner specified a need for 86,340 kg. I'll let you know what I land with

Hi, you should let the EFB fuel sync add the fuel.

This is the issue that is causing the problem.

This is the issue that is causing the problem. From the FLihgt planner tab is not going to work. Unless you add it when you start the flight

Is there a fix for that? Or is that just the way the plane was programmically created?

Yes, that was it. After I fueled up the Center Tank on the fly, it landed with the correct amount of fuel remaining. Thank you so much for the help!

syncing with simbrief is the most accurate and realistic intended way. Please do that if you want more accuracy and correct fuel loading.
