Using card_mod to animate an icon in a card

[mellow jetty]

I'm using a mushroom-chips-card and trying to get the icon in the center to animate using card_mod. i can't seem to figure out the magic to target the right selector.

card:
  type: custom:mushroom-chips-card
    chips:
      - type: template
        icon: mdi:fan
        tap_action:
          action: toggle
        entity: fan.snooz
        card_mod:
          style: |
            ha-card {
              padding: 5px!important;
              border-radius: 100px!important;
            }
            ha-icon  {
              animation: slow-rotate 2s linear infinite;

              @keyframes slow-rotate {
                0% { transform: rotate(0deg); }
                100% { transform: rotate(360deg); }
              }
            }

Can anyone help steer me in the right direction?

The custom:button-card and Mushroom cards have a completely different syntax. The custom:button-card has is own internal styling but the Mushroom card would need card_mod.
I tried animating the icon yesterday by targeting ha-icon and ha-state-icon which works for the regular cards but for some reason doesn't work with the chip.

Yeah. I considered that after I posted that message. However, it uses a method that I was trying to avoid. The method in the forum uses card_mod at the chip's container level and has to target the nth-child objects. I was trying to apply the card_mod directly to the chip itself which some stuff worked and others did not. If my method would have worked, it would have kept the card_mod with the chip. If a chip is added before the chip-to-be-animated, the card_mod portion would also have to be updated to reflect the chip's new position.
