VFX PowerUp in Head Socket disconnects from player head while eating / using certain items

Summary

Create a Niagara Effect that spawns a mesh the socket position. Attach that niagara effect to a VFX Powerup device and set it to spawn in the Head Socket. Now grab a consumable item such as Pizza Slice, Slap Berry, or Bandages. Use the item and observe the VFX in the head socket gets moved off the player’s head and onto their hands.

Thank you! I can confirm it’s not just the head socket that has this issue. It’s all sockets.
