HSP points: Can I claim first-author credit if paper has co-first authors?

I have published three papers as a first author. In the third paper, two authors are listed as co-first authors, which is common in medical research. The paper explicitly states in the author contributions that “Author A and Author B contributed equally to this work.”

Has anyone applied for Highly Skilled Professional (HSP) points in Japan with a co-first-author paper?

Were you able to claim research publication points successfully?

Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
