Eevee: cloned collection containing a particle system doesn't render

I have a collection that renders the eyelashes of a character on one collection, then i create a new instance of that collection and mirror it into the other eye… in cycles they both render fine, but in eevee only the original collection is rendered, the other is not. I’ve added a sphere on the collection and i can see one sphere in each collection but the particle system wont render on the duplicated collection.

Is this a thing or im missing something?
