Only apps marked with LEANBACK_LAUNCHER in the app manifest will show up in the leanback launcher (the default android TV launcher). You have a couple of options:

1. You could try this android TV app to see if it has the ability to create leanbacklauncher shortcuts to your apps https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=news.androidtv.tvapprepo.playstore&hl=en_GB

2. You could install some other launcher with more customization features
