Worked perfectly, thanks! Figured out every step aside from typing flameshot gui specifically, so I just typed flameshot and that simply opened the app, haha. Can confirm it requires removing the default PrtScr binding first though! If you skip it, you won't be able to define the custom PrtScr action.
