Conky Config Issue

Fairly new to knowing you how to config conky and running into an issue. The main goal was to get transparency. I figured that out but got a new issue where conky only runs in its own window instead of just on the desktop. I've tried editing own_window settings multiple ways and times and not sure how to fix the issue.

I took the below code from the default conky.conf and edited it to learn how the config. Below is where I'm currently at. Would anyone be willing to take a peek at the below and see where I'm in the wrong or missing something at?

Running on Debian 12 with Awesome WM.

Code:conky.config = {
alignment = 'top_right',
background = false,
border_width = 1,
cpu_avg_samples = 2,
default_color = 'white',
default_outline_color = 'white',
default_shade_color = 'white',
double_buffer = true,
draw_borders = false,
draw_graph_borders = true,
draw_outline = false,
draw_shades = false,
extra_newline = false,
font = 'firacode:size=10',
gap_x = 15,
gap_y = 15,
minimum_height = 5,
minimum_width = 5,
net_avg_samples = 2,
no_buffers = true,
out_to_console = false,
out_to_ncurses = false,
out_to_stderr = false,
out_to_x = true,
own_window = true,
own_window_transparent = true,
own_window_type = desktop,
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,stick,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
own_window_argb_visual = true,
show_graph_range = false,
show_graph_scale = false,
stippled_borders = 0,
update_interval = 1.0,
uppercase = false,
use_spacer = 'none',
use_xft = true,
}

conky.text = [[
