VR Controller Location is at a fixed point in the scene

Hi, I’m building a VR version for an already completed project. It doesn’t have a landscape and all the objects (spheres basically) are in a skybox. The project has multiple levels, and also uses sequencer to take the viewer through a visual journey. This has been achieved by adding a camera rig rail and moving the camera along it.

I initially added the VR Template starter pack, and replaced the camera with the VR Pawn and set the Pawn to Player 0. When the viewer moves the headset in a certain position, the sequence is played as expected. However, I’m noticing that the controllers aren’t visible or if the hand left and right are increased in scale and offset forward in front of the VR Pawn camera, they are visible in scene. But the line trace which I want to begin from the hands isn’t working as expected. It appears from a fixed point behind the controllers.

Note: the motion controller right and left aims have been set at the same position as the hand left and right.

What could be the issue with this?

I was able to fix the line trace origin, but, it’s not always perfect. Since my VR Pawn is attached to the Camera Rig Rail, the position based on the camera movement seems to be impacting the motion controllers’ location. Only at a certain point in the sequence does it appear from the correct position.

On removing the VR Pawn from the rig rail as child and keeping it independent in the scene, the line trace correctly originates from the controllers. But, the sequence continues to play without the headset following the sequence.
