OpenVPN iOS clients can't direct connect to LAN peers

Here's a batch of screenshots I took from my phone using a network utility app while connected to the OpenVPN server I have set up on my network.

Everything in these screenshots points to the fact that the phone can see/ping one of my LAN peers running Sync on port 33545 (10.5.1.3), it can even make a direct connection on the Sync listening port!... green lights across the board... but when I open the Sync app with a connected folder with all default options except "Use relay server", none of the 8+ LAN clients on the 10.5.1.0/24 subnet will connect to the phone. Is there something specific to OpenVPN settings that will allow the LAN clients speak to the VPN clients without having to go through a relay server?

LAN: 10.5.1.0/24
VPN: 10.5.2.0/24

I have client-to-client enabled on the VPN... the 10.5.1.0/24 subnet is being pushed to the VPN clients as a route... have it using the same DNS/DNS Resolver the LAN is using (can use the local DNS names to get to things, etc.)
