I’m trying to snap a weapon (skeletal mesh) to a socket on my character mesh’s hand, and tried following the steps in this UE tutorial ( [SkeletalMeshSockets | Unreal Engine Documentation](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Content/Types/SkeletalMeshes/Sockets/index.html) ) to do “Attach To” and then choose the socket, but the weapon does not snap to that socket’s location like the tutorial says it should.

There seems to be a similar issue in UE-59094 ( [Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-59094)](https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-59094) ) but without a resolution… is this a problem that will be fixed?
