Integrated ads open google play when clicking test ad on Kindle Fire HD

I just went through all the steps to integrate Amazon Mobile Ads into one of my Android apps. This page lists a few things to test: https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/mobileads/testing-your-app.html#Developer Launch Checklist Specifically the checklist says: "Does the Amazon Cloud Player ad correctly open the Amazon Mobile App Distribution store (or other distribution store)?" For some reason when I click the ad on my Kindle Fire, it opens Google Play in a web browser trying to download the 'Amazon MP3' app - something you obviously can't do on a Kindle Fire. I'm trying to figure out how this link is supposed to open - I was assuming with the built in Amazon music app on the Kindle Fire. I can't really release the app until I'm sure the ads will work well, and right now it looks like they don't recognize the ads are on a Kindle Fire, and not some other Android device. Any suggestions?

I integrated the SDK today and this specific ad still links to Google Play - to Amazon mp3! CAn I just leave this as it is and the real ads will link to Amazon?
