Unable to add mouth and eye controls to Epic Mannequin template

Hi everyone,
I’ve got the mouth and eye guides from another standard MGear template and I tried adding that to EPIC Mannequin template but unfortunately, MGear doesn’t build the guides.
(it does build but there aren’t any bones in the scene).

Is it impossible to change the hierarchy of the guides of the EPIC Mannequin template? Is there I way I can add extra components to the Mannequin template?

Issue solved! I’m typing out the solution here in case it might be useful to anyone else having this issue.

While dragging and dropping guides/components from one template into another, always make sure to check if in the component settings, there’s anything referenced within the ‘Reference array’.

In my case, the eye ctrl had ‘local_ctl, spine_coeff’ etc. linked in the Reference array. Neither of those are in the EPIC Mannequin. So i just removed those from the reference and added the root and Spinechest instead. And it worked!
