How to use use SSIS package saved in User item Templates Location

VS2017 (Pro), SSDT2017, Win10 Pro, SQL Server 2016

I've created and saved an SSIS/Integration Services package as (MyPkg.dtsx).
When I copy it to the folder designated in "User Item Templates" (Tools->Options-Projects and Solution->Location->User item templates location) it is never available in an SSIS Project when using Project->Add New Item.

Note: Our company does not allow for developers to have Admin Privileges so we can NOT copy or save templates to the default VS2017 SSIS template directory. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\SSIS\ProjectItems\DataTransformationProject\DataTransformationItems)
Our ONLY option is to use items in the "User Item Templates"

How do I create and SSIS Package as a template, Save it in "User Item Templates" and have it show up as a template item when you do Project->Add New Item?
