MAYA - Face board controls don't trigger Blend Shapes - RL4 Node bsOutput

Eventually we just got lucky and some files began to save consistently.

Though I’m now experiencing this issue on another metahuman that was generated through metapipe. But this time the blend shapes respond correctly to the control inputs but the joint transforms remain static and unresponsive, the opposite of the problem I had before. Dna is pathed appropriately and rl plugins are the latest versions and everything.

I feel like I’m losing my mind.

Do any epic devs out there have a secret dna calibration or dna editor script that could fix this?
