HI,
For RTLO there is a rule https://github.com/SigmaHQ/sigma/blob/2bfb0935a08c52859f2653bf51dbf9f4bbb5d7aa/rules/windows/file/file_event/file_event_win_susp_right_to_left_override_extension_spoofing.yml
It is better to update the old one as there are similar.

@frack113 , Thank you for reminding me about this pre-existing rule which I overlooked. I have made the changes in these rules as you suggested.
