Can't create conky panel on Bodhi Linux

Issue

I'm trying to create a universal conky panel that gives a one-line summary of my systems. So far, this works great on my Linux Mint, dual-monitor system. I have copied it over to my Debian 10, EndeavourOS, and FreeBSD VMs and, with a little tweaking in the actual displayed text, the settings work fine.

However...for the life of me I cannot get an actual panel on Bodhi 6.0. The closest I've gotten is an always-on-top window (using various combinations of own_window_hints), but that's not nearly the same as a panel.

Information

Bodhi Linux 6.0 Conky v1.10.8

This conky config is for my Linux Mint 20.2 system (same conky version as Bodhi); changes for Bodhi are highlighted conky.config = { alignment = 'bl', background = false, border_width = 1, color1 = 'cyan', color2 = 'yellow', color3 = 'green', cpu_avg_samples = 2, default_color = 'white', default_outline_color = 'white', default_shade_color = 'white', double_buffer = true, draw_borders = false, draw_graph_borders = false, draw_outline = false, draw_shades = false, extra_newline = false, font = 'Ubuntu Mono:size=12', format_human_readable = yes, gap_x = 5, gap_y = 1, minimum_height = 22, minimum_width = 1910, # removed on Bodhi net_avg_samples = 2, no_buffers = true, out_to_console = false, out_to_stderr = false, own_window = true, own_window_argb_visual = true, own_window_argb_value = 0, own_window_class = 'Conky', own_window_colour ='020202', own_window_type = 'panel', pad_percents = 2, short_units = true, update_interval = 1.0, uppercase = false, use_spacer = 'none', use_xft = true, xinerama_head = 1 # removed on Bodhi }

The only major difference between my systems that work and Bodhi is the DE; working systems are using XFCE, Bodhi uses Moksha.

Just to make sure this wasn't only working on XFCE, I installed conky on my OracleServer Linux Gnome system and it worked as advertised.
