Arms not attached to body

The independent arms created in my puppet are not attached to the body although I have the arm layer attached to auto, independent ticked on and hinge style.

Tried all kind options but it does not work. This is the 2nd time I have encountered this problem since the last release. Is this a bug or  ....

Help

    But with this puppet the problem remains. Attach within blue box and to body (green nit shown on screenshot)

    But in record mode not attached

    Hi Joop,

    Are you able to attach an image of the rigging mode to help us see what is happening?

    Alternatively, if you haven't tried already Select the arm layer > move the origin point to where the arm would connect to the shoulder.

    Hope this helps.

    As Tiffany said - screen shot of arm layer rigging would help a lot, plus screen shot of parent independent layer(s) arm is trying to attach to.

    For arm layer, is the origin handle green indicating it’s attached to the parent? Or are you trying to attach to a sibling independent group by mistake? (Sometimes people go overboard with independent layers and don’t connect them all up. You have to have a parent layer with actual content to attach to.)

    Here is a screenshot of arm attached in rigging mode. In my opinion in a correct way

    Here a screenshot in record mode and you can see arm is not attached to body

    Looking forward to your answer and thanks for your kind help.
