In case someone stumbles upon this and would like to disable Site Kit's analytics output on stories (so that you can add a separate one using this plugin here), you can do so using the following filter:
add_filter( 'googlesitekit_analytics-4_tag_amp_blocked', static function( $blocked ) { if ( is_singular( 'web-story' ) ) { return true; } return $blocked; } );

@swissspidy I figured I'd start here in case anyone else is running into he issue.
Most of my creator and blogger customers have to track web stories separate from their main UA and GA4 properties for their ad networks. Something changed, which is causing both accounts to fire on web stories when in the past they didnt.
