I use APT but as standalone ie: I disable the planetarium function in APT and just use APT to frame , focus and capture ( not Goto ) which works beautifully
If you using EQMOD and Stellarium you don’t really need plate solve in APT as syncing stars around the vicinity of your target object will allow you to slew your scope bang on target in the centre of your field of view of your intended object
Connecting APT , EQMOD and Stellarium together just complicates things and is unnecessary
Hope the above helps

The only app I use with APT is PHD2 guiding where I activate the Dither function which is found in the Gear tab, other than that APT is standalone which works seamlessly for framing , focus and capture
