Relocating AspectJ packages in a Java agent

I'm using AspectJ to monitor field access and field modify. I have a gradle project that compiles the two aspects and package that jar together with the aspectjrt and aspectjweaver in a shaded jar using gradle shadow plugin. the agent is still org.aspectj.weaver.loadtime.Agent. everything works fine, but when i try to relocate the aspectj packages I get an error.

The shadow plugin configuration is:

shadowJar {
    relocate 'org.aspectj', 'shadow.org.aspectj'
    relocate 'aj.org.objectweb.asm', 'shadow.aj.org.objectweb.asm'
}

The manifest :

jar {
    manifest {
        attributes("Premain-Class": "shadow.org.aspectj.weaver.loadtime.Agent",
                "Can-Redefine-Classes": true,
                "Can-Retransform-Classes":true)
    }
}

This is the decompiled aspect class so it seems correct:

package com.vfunction.singletonanalysis;

import shadow.org.aspectj.lang.JoinPoint;
import shadow.org.aspectj.lang.NoAspectBoundException;
import shadow.org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect;
import shadow.org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Before;

@Aspect
public class StaticFieldBeforeAccessAspect extends AbstractFieldAccessAspect {
    public StaticFieldBeforeAccessAspect() {
    }

    @Before("callAt()")
    public void before(JoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {
        this.printJoinPoint(joinPoint);
    }

    public static StaticFieldBeforeAccessAspect aspectOf() {
        if (ajc$perSingletonInstance == null) {
            throw new NoAspectBoundException("com.vfunction.singletonanalysis.StaticFieldBeforeAccessAspect", ajc$initFailureCause);
        } else {
            return ajc$perSingletonInstance;
        }
    }

    public static boolean hasAspect() {
        return ajc$perSingletonInstance != null;
    }

    static {
        try {
            ajc$postClinit();
        } catch (Throwable var1) {
            ajc$initFailureCause = var1;
        }

    }
}

But I still get an error when trying to run a test program saying the the type found is not an aspect:
