How to focus on a specific item in a TvLazyRow?

Consider the following code :

val tvListState = rememberTvLazyListState()
val coScope = rememberCoroutineScope()
Column{
    TvLazyRow(
        horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(15.dp),
        state = tvListState,
        modifier = modifier
        .padding(end = 5.dp)
        , pivotOffsets = PivotOffsets(0f)) { *items* }
    TvLazyRow(
        horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(15.dp),
        state = tvListState,
        modifier = modifier
        .padding(end = 5.dp)
        , pivotOffsets = PivotOffsets(0f)) { *items* }
    TvLazyRow(
        horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(15.dp),
        state = tvListState,
        modifier = modifier
        .padding(end = 5.dp)
        , pivotOffsets = PivotOffsets(0f)) { *items* }
}

What I want to do is to focus on a specific item in one of the lazy rows when we enter the row, and have it tied to a flag, could be something like preFocusOnItem. In my current implementation I am having to call focus on this item using itemsRequester[preFocusOnItem].requestfocus() inside LaunchedEffect, where the array is used to assign a focus requester to each of the items. The problem with this approach is the focus first comes to the item that scrolling naturally will bring focus to, and after a split second the focus jumps to the item I want to focus on.

How do I directly call focus on the preFocusOnItem item when entering one of the TvLazyRows??
