Physics problem with shareable puppet

I'm using different puppets for each view of a character because I was running into issues when trying to do all views in one puppet. I have a prop sack that is a shareable puppet with a physics behavior on it. It works in one of my character puppets(side view), but not the other(front view).

 

The only difference I can find is that there are 2 instances of the prop puppet (Sack) in the front view-- but I've tried deleting one of the instances and it has no effect. Not sure what I'm missing.

 

Video and screenshots attached. The video shows the side puppet w/ properly working prop, then front glitchy prop.

 

Thanks so much for your help!

It was a rigging issue. A stick was conflicting with the hinge.

It's possibly not a physics issue, but something to do with the attach style. It's set to hinge, and in the side view puppet the shareable hand/sack puppet hinges properly but in the front view, the same shareable puppet is stiff as if it were set to weld. Not sure how to troubleshoot.
