A screen shot or 2 would not have conveyed the issue all that well, here's a short window capture displaying the issue (watch the address of app->vfxcfg), anyone able to understand why this difference occurs despite app pointing to the same address using the same structure as it's type?

Never mind, finally found the source of the problem... I think, either way the issue no longer exists, what I fixed was the type of pointer I was using in the function (not the struct), I was still using VFXCFG** when I should've changed it to VFXCFG*, the prior was a relic from old code (had been modifying the function while I was experimenting with uniform buffers, haven't managed to use them right yet though)
