[Tree Support recommendations to prevent mini breakage on removal]

I am having issues using tree supports with miniatures that have thin ankles. The tree supports are printing all around the mini and I am having a very hard time removing them. This is causing me to frequently snap the base off of the mini at the ankle. What settings should I be tweaking to make the supports easier to remove? I was using the Ender 3 profile from fat dragon games for minis with the layers depth set to 0.08, and the default tree support settings.

Newbie error: It looks like the supports are actually added, but Cura did not want to display them in the UI. I've figured it out.

I am using Cura 4.4 with an Ender 3 and PLA.  I am trying to print out the Initiative Trackers shown on the left of the image below.  I turned them on their side so that the curve would have more strength.  Unfortunately, that left a long expanse to cover, and I ended up with stringing, as shown on the right.  I am trying to use Tree supports to prevent this, but every time I slice the file, I am not seeing any supports added.  What setting would influence whether or not supports are added to that lip?
