UE5.2 Alembic Grooms and Interacting with the grooms

I have a groom that was exported as an alembic from Blender to UE5.2, I’m treating the groom like grass in this case and I would like for that sphere to be able to collide with the groom, but I can’t seem to get the interaction to work.

I can move the groom (the grass) around via translation and it reacts to itself, but nothing outside of it can seem to interact with it.

Any tips or tricks to make this work? This is going to be for a simulation demo I’m putting together, so it must be xgen/hair particle system unfortunately.

Not sure if this is still relevant but stumbled upon this today which may answer your question:
