Not calling the module.run() when using AngularJS 1.7.x

I am trying to update from AngularJS 1.5 to AngularJS 1.7 and it seems something in the order of execution has changed. 

The $log is being used before the module.run(), so the getInstance() is not present, causing the application to crash.

I was wondering if anyone has come across this and may have a solution.

I will keep poking around to see if I can figure it out in the meantime.
