[Control Rig] Foot IK unwanted knee bend

Hello everybody,
I have been trying to figure out where this issue is stemming from but I can’t figure it out so I am doing something I do rarely throw the question into the ether of the unreal forums and hope someone can help.

So I have done a Basic IK setup and when I connect it the knees bend slightly which gives me funky results since the Basic IK also seems to constrain the ankle joint to the effector ctrl afterwards.

And here is my basic setup:

I am open and thankful for any help people can give me, even just a direction since I am lost at what to do at the moment.

Thanks :slight_smile:
