Accessing transitive groups of degree 32 in libgap

The transitive groups of degree 32 can be downloaded and added to the GAP package transgrp following the instructions here: https://docs.gap-system.org/pkg/transgrp/htm/CHAP001.htm#SECT004.

After following those instructions, gap.console() has access to these groups:

sage: gap.console()
gap> TransitiveGroupsAvailable(32);
true

however, neither libgap nor gap() have them available:

sage: libgap.TransitiveGroupsAvailable(32)
false
sage: gap("TransitiveGroupsAvailable(32)")
false

Loading transgrp again doesn't seem to change anything either:

sage: libgap.LoadPackage("transgrp")
true
sage: libgap.TransitiveGroupsAvailable(32)
false

Is there a way to somehow point either libgap or gap() to the fact that these groups are available?
