Grow Bounds effect not working on PNG sequence with layer style

Hi all! Hope this is just me forgetting something and not a bug:

I'm attempting to add the Grow Bounds effect to PNG sequence layers so that their layer styles wont act strange on the edge of the screen. Grow Bounds usually does the trick, but no matter how high the effect is set, nothing happens. There are no other effects on the clip, and I've tried pre-composing the single layer or even making said pre-comp larger in the comp settings to no avail.

Other methods, such as adding a Solid Composite effect and setting the opacity to 0% hasn't worked either. Please let me know if there is anything I should try as soon as possible as I am on deadline!

It looks like your PNG sequence has no alpha channel. Then both layer styles and grow bounds effects are working on the edges of your image.

The PNG sequence has an alpha channel, I just solo'ed that layer for clarity. Here it is with my other layers. Moreover, the layer styling itself works fine on most of the image, it just gets odd near the edges.

It has transparency but nto sure you have an alpha channel. Double click on your layer to open into the Layer Panel, and select Alpha in the bottom of the panel (RGB circles). Could you share a screen capture to confirm if it has alpha channel?
