#Solution

Make a blueprint of your static mesh actor class

In the editor, go to the components tab

then you can fix everything up very easily

Then you can use C++ to spawn your BP, you can use my templated Spawn BP function to do this!

#Summary

Manipulating the relationships between components is much easier to do in the editor, especially if you want to visualize what the actual issue is

#Last Step

once you find the solution you could go back to just C++ with greater understanding
