How to Add Drop Shadow to Any UI Element in Unreal Engine 5.2?

I’m using UE5.2, and I’m trying to add a drop shadow effect to my buttons and other UI elements. However, I haven’t found a good way to achieve this.

I’ve tried Rive (https://rive.app/), but it only works well with UE5.3 and UE5.4, meaning I can’t use it with my UE5.2 project.

I also followed this approach from this forum (link), but it doesn’t produce great results. It works well for square buttons, but if I scale it, the border radius looks terrible.

Is there a way to achieve a drop shadow for any UI element in UE5.2?

Note: I’m using blueprint only!
Thanks for your help!
