Trying to spawn a specific prefab when lobby scene transitions to game scene

//Called on server.

//By default the gamePlayerPrefab is used to create the game-player, but this function allows that behaviour

public override GameObject OnLobbyServerCreateGamePlayer(NetworkConnection conn, short playerControllerId)
{
//default player prefab index
int prefabIndex = 1;

    //For each lobby player in scene
    foreach (LobbyPlayer lp in FindObjectsOfType<LobbyPlayer>())
    {
      //If connection contains lobby player network identity
      if (conn.clientOwnedObjects.Contains(lp.GetComponent<NetworkIdentity>().netId))
      {
        //then set prefab index to spawn value
        prefabIndex = lp.spawnTypeValue;
      }
    }
 
    //Spawn game object from spawn list
    GameObject playerPrefab = Instantiate(spawnPrefabs[prefabIndex]);
    return playerPrefab;
  }

This works fine when I test he game with one player. When there is two players it tells me that conn.clientOwnedObjects is null. Is there a better way to find the lobby player on the server that is used by that specific connection?

After doing some research I figured out how to do this. For anyone else trying to do something similar this worked for me.

    foreach (LobbyPlayer lp in FindObjectsOfType<LobbyPlayer>())
    {
        int connectionID = 0;
        NetworkIdentity ni = lp.GetComponent<NetworkIdentity>();

        //Get connection id from network identity.
        //The connection id value depends on whether its a client player or server player
        if (ni.connectionToClient != null)
            connectionID = ni.connectionToClient.connectionId;
        else if (ni.connectionToServer != null)
            connectionID = ni.connectionToServer.connectionId;

        //If connection id on lobby player is same as connection id
        if (connectionID == conn.connectionId)
        {
            //then set prefab index to spawn value
            prefabIndex = lp.spawnTypeValue;
        }
    }

    //Spawn game object from spawn list
    GameObject playerPrefab = Instantiate(spawnPrefabs[prefabIndex]);
    return playerPrefab;
