Chart.js Mixed Bar and Line chart with different scales

I'm building out a chart using chart.js, it is a stacked bar chart with a scatter type. My problem is that the scale on the x-axis of the bar chart does not properly represent the x-axis scale of the scatter. I spent the past few hours looking over the docs and browsing SOF and came up with This Answer, which makes sense with respect to the bar graph, just not the scatter graph which is plotted by x-y coordinates.

var chartDefault = {
  type: 'bar',
  data: {
    labels: ['30', '45', '60', '90', '120', '120+'],
    datasets: [{
      type: 'bar',
      label: 'Receivable',
      data: [730, 492.5, 120, 4732.5, 2760.85, 0],
      backgroundColor: 'rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)',
      borderColor: 'rgba(75, 192, 192, 1)',
      borderWidth: 1
    }, {
      type: 'bar',
      label: 'Past Due',
      data: [2760.85, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
      backgroundColor: 'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
      borderColor: 'rgba(255,99,132,1)',
      borderWidth: 1
    }, {
      type: 'scatter',
      label: 'Invoice',
      data: [{"x":106,"y":177.7},{"x":101,"y":1},{"x":92,"y":1},{"x":88,"y":120},{"x":65,"y":4},{"x":66,"y":120},{"x":59,"y":120},{"x":36,"y":372.5},{"x":35,"y":120},{"x":29,"y":120},{"x":4,"y":185},{"x":4,"y":120},{"x":1,"y":240},{"x":1,"y":65}],
      xAxisID: 'invoice-time',
      yAxisID: 'invoice-amount',
      backgroundColor: 'rgba(75, 00, 150, 0.2)',
      borderColor: 'rgba(75, 00, 150,1)',
      borderWidth: 2
    }]
  },
  options: {
    scales: {
      xAxes: [{
        display: true,
        stacked: true,
        scaleLabel: {
          display: true,
          labelString: 'Days'
        },
      }, {
        id: 'invoice-time',
        display: false,
        stacked: false,
        scaleLabel: {
          display: false,
          labelString: 'Days'
        },
        ticks: {
          beginAtZero: true,
          stepSize: 1,
          suggestedMax: 125
        }
      }],
      yAxes: [{
        display: true,
        stacked: true,
        scaleLabel: {
          display: true,
          labelString: 'Dollar Amount'
        },
        ticks: {
          beginAtZero: true,
        }
      }, {
        id: 'invoice-amount',
        display: false,
        stacked: false,
        scaleLabel: {
          display: false,
          labelString: 'Dollar Amount'
        },
        ticks: {
          beginAtZero: true,
        }
      }]
    },
  }
};
var chart = new Chart($('#creditSat'), chartDefault);

So if you look at the snippet for the scatter dataset, there are 11 data points but only 6 are mapped. I would like all 11 to be mapped, I know there is some overlap and that makes sense. Essentially this is a representation of invoices, you have the Receivables, Past Due represented by the bar and then the points on the line represent the invoices themselves. Any help would be much appreciated.

Found the answer, the axis for the line graph needs the type specified, like so:

{
    id: 'invoice-time',
    type: 'linear',
    display: false,
    stacked: false,
    scaleLabel: {
      display: false,
      labelString: 'Days'
    },
    ticks: {
      beginAtZero: true,
      stepSize: 1,
      suggestedMax: 125
    }
  }

var chartDefault = {
  type: 'bar',
  data: {
    labels: ['30', '45', '60', '90', '120', '120+'],
    datasets: [{
