This affected me today in UE5.4. I have a c++ project and every time I restarted my project the component / plugin was not found. My solution was to copy the plugin into my project from:

C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.0\Engine\Plugins\Experimental\Animation\MotionWarping\

to: …MyProject/Plugins/MotionWarping

Opened my MyProject.Build.cs and add:

    PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[]
    {
      "MotionWarping"
    });

Then I updated MotionWarping.uplugin to

{
	"FileVersion": 3,
	"Version": 1,
	"VersionName": "0.1",
	"FriendlyName": "Motion Warping",
	"Description": "",
	"Category": "Animation",
	"CreatedBy": "Epic Games, Inc.",
	"CreatedByURL": "https://epicgames.com",
	"DocsURL": "",
	"MarketplaceURL": "",
	"SupportURL": "",
	"EnabledByDefault": true,
	"CanContainContent": true,
	"IsBetaVersion": true,
	"IsExperimentalVersion": false,
	"Installed": true,
	"Modules": [
		{
			"Name": "MotionWarping",
			"Type": "Runtime",
			"LoadingPhase": "PreDefault"
		}
	]
}

And rebuilt the project after removing DerivedDataCache, Intermediate and Binaries. Seems to work now.
