Issues with HWMON changing names on reboot

I am using Thinkfan on my laptop to manage what temperature level I want the fans to turn on for.



For some reason recently Thinkfan has not been running on startup and its because the the names for my temperature inputs keeps changing on reboot.



I can get Thinkfan running properly if I manually change these names after the reboot, but once the computer turns off it changes names.



Here are the hwmon temperature names as of now:



/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon1/temp3_input



/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input



/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon1/temp2_input



/sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input



/sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input



/sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon3/temp1_input



The file paths will stay the same, but it's the number values that change. I think it probably has something to do with the boot order of these devices but I have no idea how to make them static.



Thanks for the help, sorry if im just being dumb about this.
