Description

**Describe the bug**
When using "add_isos_and_reactions" for creating a new nuclear network, the al26-1(p,g)si27 and al26-2(p,g)si27 reactions are not automatically included. All other relevant reactions connected to the isomeric states are included.

**To Reproduce**
add_isos_and_reactions(
al26-1
al26-2)
The appropriate reaction will not appear in the rates_cache.

**Expected behavior**
add_isos_and_reactions() should include all reactions of the isotopes mentioned between the brackets, but apparently some of these are omitted

**Version**
Any MESA version from 10398 to now, as far as I am aware

**Additional context**
The reaction is not the main destruction channel of al26, the main destruction is through it's radioactive decay, but it would be nice if it is included automatically
