Props do not move along with Metahuman when connected to live link

Hello,
I am currently adding props to my Metahuman and with the control rig animations, I am able to get this to work by adding a socket in the blueprint editor. However, when using live link, the animation created by an external Python script ignores the object (a hat in this case) and only moves the head. My question is, would anyone know of a way to get the props to move along with the head/body with live link?
