SkeletalMeshSockets
Commonly in games, you will want to attach an object to the bone of a character. This might be a weapon attached to a hand, or a hat attached to the head. For this purpose, Unreal Engine allows you to create sockets in its animation toolset - Persona - which are offset from a bone within the Skeletal Mesh. Sockets can then be translated, rotated, and scaled relative to the bone. Static Meshes and/or Skeletal Meshes can also be previewed attached to sockets. This allows content creators to easily set up sockets for a Skeletal Mesh, and then tell the programmer the names of the sockets to attach objects to.

Dude … did you read any of the links I posted?
You need to open your skeletal mesh and then add the socket to the bone in the skeletal mesh.

Open the skeletal mesh, select a bone then click add socket, the linked documentation goes through it. Run it through some translation software as I think you are not getting the jist of it reading in English.
Here is a video tutorial that explains everything: ?v=fyC57urfKtE
