ok, please bear with me, this is a fully assembled launch stack here in the pic as well, so ignore what's already tacked onto the craft please...
it doesnt look it, but where I marked on the imave, is where I TRIED to install the parachute. the parachute thats just floating? is where the game decided it needs to go.
I get this same problem, or, worse, it sinks into the hull, with the lights I tried to use...and the camera isnt cooperating on the hull submersion I'm describing.
second pic is the gemini light care of the fasa mod, and its just floating there, I wanted to put it right above the upper rcs jets, or what look like the upper rcs jets, they're above line in respect to the viewports.
now, if the game determined it wasnt attached, the part would be transparent, so its registering a connection with something that isnt visible on the model.

please dont mistake this as a complaint..I LOVE this mod, it solves so many issues for me with my launch stack, that said, if I can help address a problem I discovered, I'm happy to do so, and furnish these pics towards that purpose.
