Not the PackageGroupRef/@Id but rather the ExePackage/@Id:

    <PackageGroup Id="VisualCPlusPlusRedist">
      <ExePackage
          DisplayName="Microsoft Visual C++ 2013"
          InstallCommand="/q /norestart /ChainingPackage
"[WixBundleName]" /log "[VcRedistFullLog].html""
          RepairCommand="/q /norestart /repair /ChainingPackage
"[WixBundleName]" /log "[VcRedistFullLog].html""
          UninstallCommand="/uninstall /q /norestart /ChainingPackage
"[WixBundleName]" /log "[VcRedistFullLog].html""
          PerMachine="yes"
          DetectCondition="!(wix.VcPPRedistDetectCondition)"
          InstallCondition="!(wix.VcPPRedistInstallCondition)"
          Id="VisualCPlusPlusRedist"
     <---  Try changing this one!
          Vital="yes"
          Permanent="yes"
          LogPathVariable="VcRedistFullLog"
          Compressed="no"
          Name="!(wix.VcPPRedistPackageDirectory)vcredist_x64.exe">
      </ExePackage>
    </PackageGroup>
