Second Curtain Flash Sync on Canon 600D (T3i) does not work

Hello I have a 600d and I am using the builtin popup flash and I've set the flash to fire on the 2nd curtain. I am in manual with a shutter speed of 2 seconds for testing and I can clearly see that the flash only fires at the beginning of the exposure not at the end. The manual states that there will be a pre flash for TTL when using 2nd curtain but this seems like the only flash firing.

I changed my sync settings back and forth and tried in Av and Tv mode first to test, didn't work. Then I reset all camera settings and it still doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong or is something wrong with my builtin flash?

tl;dr Despite resetting all camera settings, 2nd curtain flash works just like 1st curtain flash
