kafka connect ignores fields in message to jdbc postgres - postgresql

Question

I am trying to set up a Kafka Connect to copy data from the topic (in Protobuf) to PostgreSQL db.
I set it up, and it's working but half of the fields are being completely ignored, without any error, simply missing in the db.
Below is my connector, and in the db only the fields value, isSomething, physicalType and key are present.
missing fields are all different types (string - text, int64, custom types which i'd like as a string).
