Rubber Hose issue

Hi, just purchased the Rubber Hose plug-in to improve my animations and it doesn't seem to be working. Here is what is happening:

 

I use the mask tool to make the shapes I want out of jpeg texture. I line up the joint in the center crosshairs. I select the upper leg then the lower leg (separate jpegs layers) and then press the Rubber Rig button. Then I don't see controllers to make them move and when I try to move the lower or upper leg they move independently and they are not connected and there is no joint.

 

Also, I tried using the Rubber Pin tool but when I put puppet pins in the texture it doesn't generate keyframes and the Rubber Hose tutorial says to select keyframes, but they simply are not there.

 

Am I missing something? AE is up to date and as far as I know, I have the latest version of Rubber Hose.

Have you carefully gone through all of the manufacturer's tutorials?

Yes.

Spending more time on it I figured out that it's putting the controllers far outside the workspace, so it's kind of useless.

I tried precomposing the individual jpeg layers and still, the controllers are positioned in such a way as to be useless.

Is there a way to reposition the controllers?
