Is there a way to control which craft takes precedence for contract tracking after undocking?

I am attempting to complete manned return contracts from Exploration Plus mod, since I've seen this mod recommended many times as a good alternative for stock exploration contracts, however every time I undock the reentry stage from the interplanetary stage the game ALWAYS selects the interplanetary stage as the one being tracked for the contract, even when it is left unmanned, uncontrolled. The tracking never switches to te reentry stage, even if I terminate the interplanetary stage, return to space center, reload the game etc. I have tested this multiple times, ensuring the reentry stage is carried all the way to duna and back, is always manned and there are no docking/undocking shenanigans during the trip. Despite of this the interplanetary stage consistently remains as the default (only) choice for the game to track as the contract vessel. I would like to avoid having to cheat the reentry stage back into orbit of the planets its returning from, every time I want to complete a milestone contract.
