Fontawesome fonts not loading using Aurelia, with Scss, and webpack

So I have this project where I'm using Aurelia, Bulma, Scss, Fontawesome and Webpack. I've installed both Bulma and FontAwesome with yarn. The stylesheets for both appear intact.

Here's my app.html, everything seems to work right except the fas fa-plus icon.

    <template>
      <require from="./styles.scss"></require>
      <section class="section">
        <div class="container">
          <div class="tabs">
            <ul>
              <li class="is-active"><a>Active Tab</a></li>
              <li>
                <a>
                  <span class="icon is-small"><i aria-hidden="true" class="fas fa-plus"></i></span>
                  <span>Add a tab</span>
                </a>
              </li>
            </ul>
          </div>
          <article class="media">
            <figure class="media-left">
              <p class="image is-64x64">
                <img src="https://bulma.io/images/placeholders/128x128.png">
              </p>
            </figure>
            <div class="media-content">
              <p>My List</p>
            </div>
          </article>
        </div>
      </section>
    </template>

in my styles.scss I have this

@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free";
@import "~bulma";

$fa-font-path: "../webfonts";

and lastly here's my webpack.config.js which is just what aurelia generated.

My best guess is that the font files aren't be copied out of the node_modules and into the resultant dist directory (or at least not being served by the webpack dev server)
