Ok this is really confusing. So I set a day/night cycle going and planted a 1x1 brick, did the events, and it worked. I then added a 1x2 plate, named it "asdf" and evented the 1x1 to do the same thing but for NamedBrick "asdf"; that worked as well. I then reversed the roles and took the 1x1 brick events and put them on the 1x2 and then named the 1x1 "fdsa" to test it the other way; that worked as well. After that, I took off the Self events and named the first 1x1 and 1x2 plate "asdf", and named the other two "fdsa". That worked as well. I then deleted all of the bricks and planted just a 1x2. I evented that the same way as the first two but with just Self events.
...
That didnt work.
