Block update tick only works on manually placed blocks

I made a mob spawner that works perfectly when placed.

However when spawned into the world naturally in structures it appears but doesn't seem to tick.

I have tested this by adding a message to the tick and it doesn't tick at all.

This is by MC design for performance reasons.

You can use random tick, this will tick randomly for the active chunks all the time.

A "random tick" option seems to not working for me. I made a special block that is a part of random generated structure, it scans terrain and doing stuff after finding player. When i tried to maje it tick when generated, i set "random tick" option to "✓", but it just not ticking. 1.14.4 version.
