I just had the same issue on Xubuntu (XFCE), but for me it was related to having spaces in the AppImage file names (e.g. Arduino IDE v2.3.6 (x64).AppImage or Draw.io v28.0.4.AppImage). This causes AppImageLauncher to incorrectly escape the path in the launcher file.

When I replace the spaces (It seems like you also have a space between "Lunar" and "Client") with (for example) underscores on the original AppImage file, and install it with AppImageLauncher, then it displays in the launcher correctly.

According to https://askubuntu.com/a/1026400, just using double quotes isn't enough for the "exec" entry in the launcher, but also spaces must be replaced with \s. This is, however, something I'm unable to test successfully.
