Verify webhook from signature using PHP with gree/jose library - php

Question

I'm trying to follow the 3rd party documentation for verifying a webhook body using the Signature header -- the 3rd party will be referred to as 3P going forward).
3P offered a sample Kotlin implementation using a java library. I am using PHP and decided to try gree/jose as my library.
As a sanity check, I've copied their sample data into my implementation, but I am still getting a false outcome.

$rsa = JOSE_JWK::decode($components); // => phpseclib\Crypt\RSA instance
$publicKey = $rsa->createKey()['publickey']; // this appears to work perfectly
$rsa->loadKey($publicKey);
var_dump($rsa->verify($payload, $rsa->sign($signature))); // bool(false)
I've been floundering with this piece of software for over 2 days now and I feel like I've tried ~100 different things (some proof). I've even tried partially abandoning the gree/jose library. Ultimately, I just need a working solution (regardless of if it is repairing this implementation or entertaining a different implementation/library).
I feel like I am probably missing a step (or two) in preparing my strings prior to calling verify(), but I am too unfamiliar with this process to identify it myself. Of course, verify() doesn't indicate if I'm getting hotter or colder.

RS256 in Java means RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-256
