Socket isnt following animations please help

Development Character & Animation
1

As stated in the title, my socket for my weapon isnt following animations (check photo below). Whenever I attach component to my actor it attaches but when I aim offset up or down, it doesnt follow. It follows pitch though. It also doesnt follow animation inside of the animationBP as shown in the photo. Please help me resolve this issue as in the past ive attached weapons to my characters before and ive had no problems. This is the first time im running into this.

Also, my weapon doesn’t go into the socket, it’ll look just like the image in real game.

Note: I use C++ but i dont think this is a C++ issue, I believe this is an engine issue. I never experienced this until after upgrading to UE4 4.25.3

Usually when this happens your socket isn’t attached to the correct bone.

For the default UE4 mannequin i put my socket underneath ik_hand_r. That should be it.

Thank God someone could answer this question. For the life of me I was just absolutely stumped thinking everything should be working. Turns out it was like Mat’s situation just drug the socket out to the parenting bone.

This is the only thread that answers this question. Sheesh.
