vlookup directory pointing to a specific directory

I am having this problem when running my vba script. It is supposed to open up 4 excel files and one template with a macro. Then it activate the macro and populate each table with vlookup to the specific excel file. The 2 sheets have 3 columns, 2 columns are looking for 1 excel file and the 3rd column looks for the 2nd excel file. But when i run the script, the first 2 columns are #NA whereas the 3rd column has the file directory to the excel file. When i do it manually(Manually open all 4 excel files and click on a button to run the macro), it successfully populate all 3 columns for both sheets. What could be the problem? I searched around and vlookup searches for excel files that are opened, thats why i open the 4 excel files before running the macro to populate the tables. This is my VBA Script:

Option Explicit

Dim xlApp, xlBook, shell
Dim folderPath


' Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")   
' shell.Run "C:\Users\NLTAdmin\Desktop\Extraction_Automation\TABLE_COUNT_SCRIPT\All_in_one.bat", 1, True


folderPath = "C:\Users\NLTAdmin\Desktop\Extraction_Automation\TABLE_COUNT_SCRIPT\"

Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
xlApp.DisplayAlerts = False

xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "Assetco\Assetco.csv")
xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "BIOS\BIOS.csv")
' xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "FDS\FDS.csv")
' xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "FTTH\FTTH.csv")
' xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "FTTH_Filter\ftth_union_filter_queries.csv")
' xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "Gtech_Filter\Gtech_filter_queries.csv")
' xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "Gtechv1\Gtech.csv")
' xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "MARS\MARS.csv")
' xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "MARS_Filter\mars_filter_queries.csv")
' xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "WOMS\WOMS.csv")
' xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "Workflow\WORKFLOW.csv")
' xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "Workflow_Filter\workflow_filter_queries.csv")

folderPath = "C:\Users\NLTAdmin\Desktop\Extraction_Automation\Union_queries\"

Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
xlApp.DisplayAlerts = False

xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "ASSETCO_union.csv")
xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "BIOS_union.csv")
' xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "FDS_union.csv")
' xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "FTTH_union.csv")
' xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "GTECH_union.csv")
' xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "MARS_union.csv")
' xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "WOMS_union.csv")
' xlApp.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & "WORKFLOW_union.csv")

set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\NLTAdmin\Desktop\Extraction_Automation\extraction_report_template.xlsm",0,True)
xlApp.Run "Macro1"

xlApp.DisplayAlerts = True
xlApp.Quit

Set xlApp = Nothing

WScript.Quit

The first Workbooks.open is suppose to open the excel files to populate the first 2 columns, whereas the 2nd Workbooks.Open is to populate the 3rd column. Only the 3rd column gets populated. 3rd column has the file directory and is populated: 3rd column has the file directory 1st and 2nd column unable to be found 1st column

You creating multiple instances of Excel. Eliminate all but the first CreateObject("Excel.Application")'

 Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
