dynamically render a component in lazy loaded module with AOT throws cant find component factory

Current behavior

I declared those dynamic components as entry components in the module where I also want to render them. With JIT it works fine. Following structure has the part of my app I want to render them: app -> home (lazy) -> contracts (lazy) -> search.

So I added those components to the module I use for the search component/route. When I'm compiling with AOT, everytime I visit the search route, the app tells me there is no component factory. Of course I searched google and found some results:

I tried adding them to the ANALYZE_FOR_ENTRY_COMPONENTS provider, I tried to import a ModuleWithProviders with .forRoot() in my app.module and I also tried simply importing and declaring my dynamic and all of its dependant components in the root module (app.module). Everything resulting in the same error.

I declare my dynamic components as entry components like so:

@NgModule({
  imports: [SharedComponentsModule, FinoSchemaFormsModule, TabGroupModule, FinoInputModule],
  declarations: [EnergySearchSettingsComponent, DslSearchSettingsComponent, MobileSearchSettingsComponent, ComparisonDetailSectionComponent],
  entryComponents: [EnergySearchSettingsComponent, DslSearchSettingsComponent, MobileSearchSettingsComponent],
  exports: [EnergySearchSettingsComponent, DslSearchSettingsComponent, MobileSearchSettingsComponent, ComparisonDetailSectionComponent],
  providers: [CategoryMappingProvider]
})
export class ComparisonComponentsModule { }

This module gets imported in the SearchModule, where also my SearchComponent is declared. In this component I want to render those components dynamically using the ComponentFactoryResolver I inject in the SearchComponent.

ngOnInit() {
    this.searchSettingsComponent = this.comparisonService.getSearchComponent(); // returns either EnergySearchSettingsComponent, DslSearchSettingsComponent or MobileSearchSettingsComponent
    let componentFactory = this.componentFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory(searchSettingsComponent);
    this.searchSettingsComponent = this.searchContainer.createComponent(componentFactory);
    this.searchSettingsComponent.instance.comparisonSettings = comparisonSettings;
    this.searchSettingsComponent.instance.onSave.subscribe(settings => this.saveSearchSettings(settings));
}

The SearchComponent is the routing component of the search route, which is a child route of my contract route, which gets lazy loaded. This again is a child route of my home route (also lazy loaded) and this belongs to the main route.
