I am trying to have modded items in the chests of lost cites mod, and there is this problem I am facing, in which a mod called Apocalypse Now automatically injects its mod items into the chests without having a need of datapack, which suggests its being done internally within the mod. What I have found is that it is overwriting loot tables entirely and by that, lootjs/kubejs or the datapacks of the another mod does not inject their itmes.
That another mod is Timeless and Classics Zero, and I made the datapacks and the json file (later) for this mods by taking help of multiple chatbots, since I lack knowledge on making datapacks or json file for the lootjs/kubejs to overwrite or just add your loot to the loot tables without overwriting it. I will have the contents of those files written down below, by which you can see if there are errors or not in those 3 files.

I don't know if this is the place to ask this, I have asked this same question in reddit but no one replied, maybe due to this issue being too technical. Please help me with this.
