Kafka trigger not reading messages from Kafka

[Ryan-Gordon1]

I have been attempting to setup Openwhisk with Kafka as a feed to triggering actions.
When I do this I use https://github.com/apache/openwhisk-deploy-kube following the kind set instructions
Additionally I setup a kafka instance with 2 kafka containers.

When I create a trigger from the wsk cli it successfully creates and I don't see an indication that the connection failed but when I view the kafka instance I don't see any registered consumer. When I check the activation logs I do see 1 response of a UUID but nothing from messages I am sending in using a custom producer.
