Issue with modular rig not detecting front legs as slots.

I am trying to rig a four-legged creature to a modular rig.

I got the spine and rear legs rigged and they work as intended. However there is no socket being autocreated that can be used for dragging a module for the leg or hindleg onto it. Why?

The only module I can drag onto the first front leg bone is the constraint module or other very simple modules.

Here is a screenshot showing the skeletal structure and the bone hierarchy:

I think there is something wrong in the bone hierarchy which prevents the editor to enable the first front leg bone to be viable for the leg or arm modules.
