Im having an issue creating animations in Lyra

I am trying to create a brand new animation using the Manny mannequin and the control rig that is associated with it in Lyra. But for some reason when i create an animation from the control rig, the root bones are never connected to anything.

If you where to look at any other Manny animation that is included with Lyra you will see that the root bones are connected to the hands, feet, etc. But when I do it they are not, and they just stay stationary. I feel like if you create an animation from the control rig these bones should just be connected. Hopefully that makes sense. My question would be how to fix this. Thank you!

In the Control Rig, Get Bone of Foot_l and then Set ik_foot_l to that tranform
