Match 3 Puzzle Piece slide animation

I’ve started on a simple match 3 puzzle game (as in have my mechanics figured out on paper) and want to start creating it. To get into UE4 I started with the puzzle template and tweaked it a bit to start messing with BP’s.

I want to now make it so when you click, hold and drag a box in a direction you get the classic match 3 slide, but like match 3 games, if there isn’t a match it needs to come back to the start point. I can not for the life of me figure out if I need to use an animation graph BP to do that or if I need to do matinee’s or what…

Any ideas? I think this might have just gotten buried in new years time…
