Tween transition animation not showing for new symbols

Hi, I'm currently trying to add a new image to a bar menu that has a transition in between each image. The problem I'm running into is that when I try to copy a new movie clip symbol and add the updated image, it for some reason doesn't play the transition anymore to the newly added frames. (Trying to add a 5th board that transitions from 4th to 5th and then 5th to 1st.)

 

Additional info: Naming system is the same. New images are also added to the timeline. I do not see a tree/node system incorporated into this. Yes, I have tested the movie as well as tested it with an export and it does not show the transition. All the properties look correct. I feel like its a linking problem, but can't find where it would be a linking problem (between the new image and the transition animation.)

 

Not exactly sure what to show for screenshots, let me know what you guys need to see and I can include it.

Yes, sorry I was not tweening more than one per layer. 

 

Ended up figuring it out, haha.

What the solution ended up being was that the timeline was recognizing that I had a symbol, but it wasn't being pasted properly in the right place within the right layers. Jeez, of course it's something simple and you just have to take a break from it to figure out.

You cannot tween more than one symbol per layer.

To add elements either put them inside your existing symbol or on a new layer and tween them.
