Wordpress private post won't display to other admins

By default Wordpress private posts are visible to all admins right. But on this build for some reason private posts are only displaying (on the page) to the admin that created it. I'm perplexed. I need all admins to see the private posts displayed.

This is a custom post type using a custom query so maybe there's something I did there.

// query upcoming webinars - Sort by date from date Picker
    $args_upcoming = array(
      'cat' = $thiscat_id,
      'numberposts' = -1,
      'meta_key'='webinar_date',  
      'orderby' = 'meta_value', 
      'order' = 'ASC',
      'meta_query' = array(
          'key' = 'webinar_date',
          'value' = $query_date,
          'compare' = '=',
          'type' = 'DATE'
        ),
$upcoming_query = new WP_Query( $args_upcoming );

The custom post type settup:

** START--- Custom Post Type Webinars ---*/
function custom_post_type_webinars() {
// Set UI labels for Custom Post Type
    $labels = array(
        'name'                = _x( 'Webinars', 'Post Type General Name', 'twentytwenty' ),
        'singular_name'       = _x( 'Webinar', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'twentytwenty' ),
        'menu_name'           = __( 'Webinars', 'twentytwenty' ),
        'parent_item_colon'   = __( 'Parent Webinar', 'twentytwenty' ),
        'all_items'           = __( 'All Webinars', 'twentytwenty' ),
        'view_item'           = __( 'View Webinar', 'twentytwenty' ),
        'add_new_item'        = __( 'Add New Webinar', 'twentytwenty' ),
        'add_new'             = __( 'Add New', 'twentytwenty' ),
        'edit_item'           = __( 'Edit Webinar', 'twentytwenty' ),
        'update_item'         = __( 'Update Webinar', 'twentytwenty' ),
        'search_items'        = __( 'Search Webinar', 'twentytwenty' ),
        'not_found'           = __( 'Not Found', 'twentytwenty' ),
        'not_found_in_trash'  = __( 'Not found in Trash', 'twentytwenty' ),
    );     
// Set other options for Custom Post Type
    $args = array(
        'label'               = __( 'Webinars', 'twentytwenty' ),
        'description'         = __( 'Upcoming Webinars', 'twentytwenty' ),
        'labels'              = $labels,
        'supports'            = array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'thumbnail', 'revisions', 'custom-fields', ),
        'hierarchical'        = true,
        'public'              = true,
        'show_ui'             = true,
        'show_in_menu'        = true,
        'show_in_nav_menus'   = true,
        'show_in_admin_bar'   = true,
        'menu_position'       = 5,
        'can_export'          = true,
        'has_archive'         = true,
        'public'              = true,
        'exclude_from_search' = false,
        'publicly_queryable'  = true,
        'capability_type'     = 'post',
        'show_in_rest' = true,
 
    );  
    register_post_type( 'webinars', $args );
} 
add_action( 'init', 'custom_post_type_webinars', 0 );
/** END-- Custom Post Type Webinars --------------*/

Again: private posts I created display to me. But not to the other admins that are logged in and visa-versa.

The solution I found is in the pre_get_posts function: I added:

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
        $query->set( 'post_status', array('private', 'publish'));
    }

Full code for function:

/*------- START add webinars custom post type to the main query loop----------*/
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'query_post_type');
function query_post_type($query) {
  if( is_category() ) {
    $post_type = get_query_var('post_type');
    // show private posts to admins too.
    if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
        $query->set( 'post_status', array('private', 'publish'));
    } 
    if($post_type)
        $post_type = $post_type;
    else
        $post_type = array('nav_menu_item', 'post', 'webinars'); // don't forget nav_menu_item to allow menus to work!
    $query->set('post_type',$post_type);
    return $query;
    }
}
/*------- END add webinars custom post type to the main query loop----------*/
