Fire Table Flame Issue

So a year ago my wife bought this fire table for our new deck. It was a floor model and marked down to move it off their floor. I went to pick it up along with some Polywood furniture she ordered. I never saw it hooked up and working at the dealer.
We brought it home and called a plumber as I never had experience with natural gas hookup. The deck has a natural gas line from where it used to have a nat'l gas grill. Plumbers hooked it up and the flames would barely get above the glass rock. It was also hard to light. They came back a second time to see if they had messed up and still didn't catch the issue. It seldom got used. We just figured we bought a lemon.
Fast forward to this weekend. I dove into it and discovered the plumbers had it hooked up properly except for the very last fitting under the bowl which had apparently been on there at the dealer for the propane hookup. I pulled it off and installed the nat'l gas fitting that was still in the bag that I had gave to the plumbers to properly install. I hate having to come behind a contractor and fix what I paid them to fix. But this was a learning experience.
You can see in the diagram the propane hookup on the left and the nat'l gas on the right. The fitting on the bottom of the bowl in each diagram is different as you can see below. The propane fitting has a smaller hole.
