Cannot get apply force to work with ragdoll

I’ve been trying to get this to work all day basically all I’m trying to do is get the ragdoll to fly off into the specified direction after the ai character dies.

I’ve tried “launch character”, which works perfectly fine when I try to do the same thing with the player character, I’ve also tried using apply force and apply force at location with both the mesh and character movement and still nothing does anyone know why it might be working with the player and not the ai character or just a way to get this to work at all?
