Record Animation Issue with Skeleton that has no root joint

I am trying to make an animation with Unreal using the record animation option to save a new pose. Everything works well except the hips joint, which is what all the other bones are parented too, gets placed to where a root joint would typically be and distorts the pose as you can see here. Anyone know how to work around this?
