Difference between tl.rank_genes_groups and pl.rank_genes_groups_heatmap

[LioLenr]

Here is the code I ran :

sc.tl.rank_genes_groups(sco, layer='cluster_int', groupby='cluster_int', method='wilcoxon', corr_method = 'benjamini-hochberg', pts = True)

pattern = r'Rik$|Rik[0-9]$|^Gm[0-9]+|^AC[0-9]{6}'

results_list = [] # Whole result
results_short = [] # Shortened based on the z-score

logfc_threshold = 1
pval_threshold = 0.05

clusters = sco.obs['cluster_int'].unique()
n = 50

for cluster in clusters:
    
    cluster_results = sc.get.rank_genes_groups_df(sco, group=cluster)
    cluster_results['cluster'] = cluster
    cluster_results = cluster_results.rename(columns={'names': 'gene'})
    cluster_results = cluster_results.rename(columns={'scores': 'z-score'})
    cluster_results = cluster_results.rename(columns={'pvals_adj': 'fdr'})
    mask = cluster_results['gene'].str.contains(pattern, regex=True)
    cluster_results = cluster_results[~mask]

    # Filtering based on the pvalue and the logfold change
    cluster_results = cluster_results[(cluster_results['pvals'] < pval_threshold) & (cluster_results['logfoldchanges'] > logfc_threshold)]
    results_list.append(cluster_results)


    # Make a smaller set based on the z-score
    cluster_short = cluster_results.sort_values(by='z-score', ascending=False).head(n)
    results_short.append(cluster_short)

results_df = pd.concat(results_list, ignore_index=True)
results_zscore = pd.concat(results_short, ignore_index=True)

top_genes = {}

for cluster in results_zscore['cluster'] :
    top_genes[cluster] = results_zscore['gene'].tolist()
top_genes = {key: top_genes[cluster] for key  in sorted(top_genes, key=int)}

sc.pl.rank_genes_groups_heatmap(sco, top_genes, layer='cluster_int', groupby='cluster_int', log=True, dendrogram=False)

After running it, I should expect a heatmap where the deg per cluster should be highlighted and form a "diagonal" on the graph. This is not the case.

I would like to have your advice on potential error ?
Also, the scale on the side of the heatmap is related to mean expression of the genes in group right ?
