Try this hook ... It works in my environment using group matches.
@hook.subscribe.client_new
def modify_window(client):
#if (client.window.get_wm_transient_for() or
client.window.get_wm_type() in floating_types):
# client.floating = True
for group in groups: # follow on auto-move
match = next((m for m in group.matches if m.compare(client)), None)
if match:
targetgroup = client.qtile.groups_map[group.name] # there can
be multiple instances of a group
targetgroup.cmd_toscreen(toggle=False)
break
