I'm confused at the moment on how to apply thrust through parts. I'm working on a frontal-facing propeller/intake hybrid part (if it were in reality, the propeller provides thrust while pushing intake air inside it; the very pushing of the intake air provides the thrust), but I'm a newbie coder in KSP, so I'm really just using code from stock parts to make this. Here is the current CFG file:

The engine makes noise, shows an increase in thrust, in kilonewtons, but there is no real thrust. I believe it's because it's attached to a part in the direction of the thrust, which I know the game does not like.
What module/code should I add so the part essentially ignores the part it is attached to? Thanks in advance!
