Does WES consider and evaluate Minor Degrees as separate from Bachelor Degrees?

I took a Minor degree whilst finishing my Bachelor's Degree (4 Years). The total number of units it took me to finish the minor was equivalent to one to two whole years of study, but since I took the program while studying Bachelor's, all of my credits for both my minor and major are listed in the same Academic Transcript. I received a diploma/certificate from that Minor degree and had a separate Commencement program for it in the same year I graduated from my Bachelor's. I'm worried that WES will completely overlook the Minor Degree Program I completed simply because I do not have a separate Academic Transcript for it.

Will it be possible for me to be qualified under the Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years for Level of Education? Or will my minor be disregarded since I took it in the same duration as my Bachelor's Degree? Much appreciated!

I haven't able to find anyone who tried to send their minor as a second degree, but I read up about the rule more, and it seems only degrees you got after you graduated count.
A minor is not a separate degree.
