Thats more like it. As a test I took cam A and B with audio, and added the recorder track so I had 5 layers of audio. There was audio on all five tracks. Did the AFF export, then import into Plural Eyes but would not sync and it also did not see the video as I could not play it back in PE. Something was not right. When I dragged raw camera video in and audio tracks it worked great but then it only exports to Premiere or FCP. The AFF route is how to go from and to Avid, but it gave me "missing audio"error so could not sync. Thought maybe someone else had seen this and its just inherent in AFF imports.
I've also found if you throw a large bunch of audio and video files at it and a few of them don't actually correspond to anything (shot MOS or false starts on the audio recorder, etc), it may balk at a large percentage of the batch..even if the scratch audio is good. Like it gets bogged down trying to find a waveform match on something and then giving up entirely...missing some stuff that should be obvious. Some people swear by PE, but it's rare that I don't end up having to figure out what it missed on some of the batches.

So if production recorded audio separately from camera, but sent a wireless scratch track from the audio recorder to the camera, then PluralEyes usually works well.
But if production recorded primary audio to one recorder and camera audio with a mic stuck on the camera (or with the camera's built-in mic), the waveforms can be significantly different and therefore the PluralEyes results might not be so hot.
You may want to select the "Try Really Hard" and/or "Level Audio" options to help things along.
