Trying to make my own Days Gone mod, can't make it work

Hello.

I am trying to mod Days Gone to make a more customized 2nd run.
I followed all the instructions and I can install other people’s mods just fine and they work.
I tried to extract a tga texture, edit it, cook it in UE5, put it in the same folder hierarchy as a similar mod (I tried both BendGame\Content\BendGame\Vehicles\Bikes\Textures\Story and the same folders but changing BendGame for just Game and neither worked) and then package it into a pak file and then pasted the pak file on the mod directory. But it doesn’t work.

Could it be because I’m using UE5 instead of 4? Maybe I compressed the texture wrong or maybe I saved the tga file with some wrong option? What could it be?

Thank you for your time in advance.
