Style Error: Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry

Greetings! Following the advice outlined on this Zotero page on Reporting Style Errors (https://www.zotero.org/support/styles), I am posting here that the CSL file for the Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry that is uploaded onto the Zotero Style Repository (https://www.zotero.org/styles) is inconsistent with the journal's style guide. Would somebody be willing to fix the CSL guide?

The style guide instructions are included in the author instructions here: https://www.springer.com/journal/10967/submission-guidelines or https://media.springer.com/full/springer-instructions-for-authors-assets/pdf/1445482_General Author Instruction.pdf

For ease of access, I'm pasting their guidelines below. I think removing the "et al" feature so that all authors are included no matter how many are listed is also necessary, based on what I see in the references of recent papers:

The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Use the following formatting: 1 or 2 for journal articles, 3 for articles with DOI, 4 for book, 5 for book chapter, and 6 for on-line document. Always use the standard abbreviation of a journal’s name (www.issn.org/2-22661-LTWA-online.php).
