SetActorTransform returns true but no effect

I am calling SetActorTransform and it returns true, but the actor instance of the object in the scene is not moving. Any ideas why it would return true without effect like a NOP? Do I need to set the permission or something? This is a C++ project not blueprints.

AStaticMeshActor* mesh;

FTransform transform = mesh->GetTransform();

// concatenate onto transform

transform.ConcatenateRotation(quaternion);

mesh->SetActorTransform(transform);

Is your actor set to Moveable?

Yeah that was the problem, thank you. The function should have return false if movable was not set, is what I was thinking. But it was returning true. I’m not sure why that is expected behavior.
