That's exactly what I said: "But no matter what I do, the resolution
seems to be stuck at the native resolution of the laptop I'm connecting

one I'm connecting from.

Yeah, I get that. As I said, the configuration file I modified above is
the one on the system to which I am connecting - the vnc server, if you
will.
