I realised I was trying to do something a bit different to the just getting a generic because my generic was set-able by the user.

The answer to my problem was to edit the hw.tcl file with the following

set_module_assignment embeddedsw.CMacro.TX_ARBITERLOCK [get_parameter_property allow_tx_arbiterlock HDL_PARAMETER]

set_module_assignment embeddedsw.CMacro.RX_ARBITERLOCK [get_parameter_property allow_rx_arbiterlock HDL_PARAMETER]

Hope this helps someone one day,

Rich
