unicorn deployment failure - can't sync when deployed to real environments

Question

I am sure I am missing something simple about using Unicorn in environments above the local dev environments
the source folder is correct out of Azure Paas, out on my App Service
I am in Sitecore 9.3.0
and Unicorn 4.1.1
The source folder is set to the real folder the src was deployed to...
<sc.variable name="sourceFolder" value="D:homesitewwwrootApp_DataSerializationsrc" patch:source="Foundation.Serialization.config"/>
But the unicorn control panel claims I need to do an initial serialization, that it cannot sync
Warning: at least one configuration has not serialized any items yet. Unicorn cannot operate properly until this is complete. Please review the configuration below and then perform initial serialization if it is accurate.
Is there some other setting, some other config I need to make to tell Unicorn is should use the serialized yml files from the sourceFolder location or...
Not sure what I am doing wrong here

I think that issue is that you pointing to wrong location. Here are steps, how to make sure that Unicorn points to right location on disk:

Open unicorn.aspx
Open any Unicorn configuration, scroll to Target Data Store.
Find physical root path, copy or remember it
Open Kudu SCM, https://your-site-name.scm.azurewebsites.net
Open CMD or Powershell in Kudu
Navigate D:homesitewwwrootApp_DataSerializationsrc and navigate to path from step 3.
Check that serialization is present in that folder
