Kafka Sink how to map fields to db with different topic and table schema name - postgresql

Question

I am currently setting up the Kafka Sink connector with a topic name waiting-room, while my db schema is called waiting_room. So I am trying to map the topic message to the db schema but I do not see any data entering the database.
So I tried the following scenario:
So since the table schema is waiting_room I tried to add quote.sql.identifier=ALWAYS since it quotes table name and allow the Kafka sink to quote it so it can map to the table but I did not see quote.sql.identifier=ALWAYS in the Kafka sink. Does both table.schema and Kafka sink need to be quote inorder to map it or how can I map with table schema as underscore and have kafka map it
Then if I changed the table.name.format=waiting-room and have the db schema = gt.namespace."waiting-room" I do not see my kafka sink get updated but instead my table.name.format will = waiting_room and have the status of the connector as 404 not found.
Is there a way to map and have data enter to the db when topic and db name different

Try to use Kafka Connect SMT RegexRouter:
{
"task.max": "1",
"connector.class": "io.confluent.connect.jdbc.JdbcSinkConnector",
"connection.url": "'"$URL"'",
"topics": "waiting-room",
"transforms": "route",
"transforms.route.type": "org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.RegexRouter",
"transforms.route.regex": "waiting-room",
"transforms.route.replacement": "gt.namespace.waiting_room",
"errors.tolerance": "all",
"errors.log.enable": "true",
"errors.log.include.messages": true
}
