- I downloaded the model from MIXAMO and due to the fact that it has a different skeleton, I also downloaded animations from MIXAMO, but there was a problem with the fact that I can’t use Root Motion, the game starts not correctly tracking the position of the character.

Yes, this is correct. Root motions in animation requires a “Root” bone in Unreal Engine. MIXAMO rigs DOES NOT contain a “Root” bone. If your projects require Root Animation, your animations MUST contain a Root Bone.
To get around this issue, you will first need to import your Character Mesh into a 3D Mesh editor, such as Blender3D to add a Root Bone to the character’s skeleton. If you are skilled with Blender3d, add a Root Bone manually.
If you don’t have Blender3D skills, there is a Blender plugin that was created specifically for converting MIXAMO characters with Root Bones. Visit Github/enziop/mixamo_converter. Follow their instructions on adding their plugin to Blender3D and executing it to create MIXAMO with Root Bone animations.*
Good Luck!
