problem with social icon loading when deployed to netlify

I really like your starter repo! I ran into a problem that seemed related to using react dangerouslySetInnerHTML. It's especially noticeable when I changed the discord link to a LinkedIn link with a larger icon. It's only noticeable when using gatsby build (don't see this on localhost). You'll see the icons used in the social section when loading the page. https://kind-clarke-92e677.netlify.app/

It's in this code in header.js

 {config.header.social ? (
              <ul
                className="socialWrapper visibleMobileView"
                dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: config.header.social }}
              ></ul>

I replaced the dangerouslySetInnerHTML with static HTML and values from config and I'm still seeing the loading issue. Since it only happens on deployed code, I think it's due to due to SSR.

I solved this by adding the image to the local assets folder and importing the image into the header.js. I'm checking in with Gatsby to see if there are any plugins or language possibilities that would allow me to supply a variable string to an image on a CDN.

Local assets proved not to be a solution. Social images in list items are still rendered before page.
