activate a 2022 VM on a 2019 hyper-V host that has a 2022 data center license for it?

Hey all,
We are currently running hyper-v on 2019. I need to install a 2022 VM server due to application requirements. the hyper-V servers have 2022 datacenter licensing, but are still on 2019... I dont have time to upgrade the hyper-v hosts at this time.
If we went this route, how could i activate the 2022 VM, because i don't think AVMA works on higher versions than the host, despite being within licensing compliance for it.
Or am I mistaken and this isnt possible?
