Parsing shortcodes in a category template file?

I am trying to get shortcodes to work in a custom template file for my categories. I use the custom template file to style a community page and lookup community specific data and the presaved link_id (created in the Diverse Solutions Control Panel) in a separate table/database (any ETA of when will I be able to use the community name instead of a link id?)

Issue is that when I output the shortcode from PHP as e.g. [idx-listings linkid="67493" count="3"] on the top of the page(before the blog posts) it doesn't parse and just prints out as text.

Does dsIDXpress only parse the blog and page content? Any additional tag/style I need surrounding it to parse it outside of a blog or page area? Or, would I need to modify the dsIDXpress plugin to parse the whole page somehow (any pointers would be helpful.)
