If I may interject here, why are we using symbolic links for this? Maybe I'm missing something.
The user game folder should not be in OneDrive, that's a flaw whereby the game sees the Documents folder in there and thinks that's where the user game folders should go. It came about and never got fixed because the prevalence of OneDrive usage arose during the release of Win 10, after the game's development cycle was already over.
I'll step back if this is still how the OP wishes to proceed, I mean it's not incorrect or anything, but what I would do is deactivate OneDrive entirely (unless there was some other need for it) and change the location of the entire Documents library at the user level to the D drive. Thus the goal will be that the user game folder will still be in the proper Documents folder but none of it will be on C anymore.
