Hello,
Its difficult for me to speak for 2021 RM5 and 2021 RF2 because I don 't have the orbits you are using. But I suspect that they are either not close enough or not bright enough at the exact moment in time that it is searching at. I'd check the magnitude parameters for these two asteroids too. If they are not set correctly then they won;t be bright enough.
To be honest, the Visual Edition DPS wasn't meant to do this sort of thing, so it doesn't have a means of specifying an exact time. Keep in mind that the date you specified is for the evening. I don't really know what you are trying to accomplish... it may be better to use the ephemeris instead.
