Creating shapes from vector layers after effects

So as you can see I created a fairly simple leaf shape in Illustrator with the intention of turning into a shape on after effects and then animating it on path to mimic it falling down. However whenever I convert it it turns the shape into a gray box. I've seen other people with this issue but usually they have more complex shapes with gradients or with groups, which is not my case. I created this as a simple path in a seperate layer, and in the illustrator document i have other leafs in other colors so that I could input them into after effects and animate them seperately, but each of these leaves are having this problem. Please Help!
