How do I Backup game files in Flatpak Steam? (lemmy.ca)

I'd like to change my distribution but when I attempt to create a backup through steam, it just creates an empty folder with the game's name.

I'm assuming this is because how flatpak contains the app.

How can I make a backup of my games so I don't have to redownload everything again?
