It is unlikely that your PXE client is going to request those DHCP
options in its REQUEST packet; if it does not, then configuring them
to be available on the server won't make any difference as the client
will never receive them.

So the first step is to use a traffic analyzer to inspect the REQUEST
packet from the client to see which DHCP options it is requesting. If
it's not requesting those, then there's a good chance it wouldn't do
anything with them even if it got them from the server.
