Need some help understanding where I'm going wrong configuring Unbound with VPN.

I have 2 VPN tunnels running.

VPN1: 185.56.45.45
VPN2: 74.45.584.52

I have few devices going through each. I have Unbound DNS queries routed through VPN1 and I have Accept DNS Configuration set to "Disabled" on the VPN Client page.

When doing DNS leak test from a device connected to VPN1, the expected result is:
IP Address = 185.56.45.45
DNS Address = 185.56.45.45

When doing DNS leak test from a device connected to VPN2, the expected result is:
IP Address = 74.45.584.52
DNS Address = 185.56.45.45

I am not getting the expected result. I am getting the IP address of the VPN tunnel, but the DNS shows my actual (ISP) IP, therefore a DNS leak. I have scoured the web and the forums and tinkered with different combinations/settings and I'm out of ideas on how to fix this.

Is my understanding of the expected results correct?

I am getting your expected result with the script from @Swinson. Devices that route through WAN, OVPN1, OVPN2, WGVPN1 are all showing the same DNS Address of WGVPN1.
How do you route Unbound DNS queries through VPN1?

I am routing unbound queries through VPN using the Unbound feature "BIND unbound to VPN". Isn't this the whole point of this feature?

I did, however, follow the step-by-step guide by @Vertron in the thread you posted. I am still not getting the expected results. I made a post in that thread.

Yes, swinson’s script works well for me. I started with bind unbound to openvpn client and now bind unbound to wireguard vpn client. I will try to have a look over there.
