WordPress: Using Custom Field Value in Zotpress shortcode

I created a custom type called "Project". This custom type has a custom field called "Project Collection". "Project Collection" holds a Zotero Collection ID.

I created a custom template file called single-project.php. In this template file, I get the value of the "Project Collection" field and store it in a variable called "$zotcol". I am trying to use this variable in the zotpress shortcode within my single-project.php file.

However, whenever I use the zotpress shortcode within the single-project.php file, it is interpreted as text and the actual zotpress shortcode is displayed on my website instead of my citations.

I am at a loss as to what I should do. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
