Cannot paste 'graphic equalizer' effect to clip after using copy from another clip

Greetings,

I'm replicating sequences with different footage but with the same effects (tweaked somewhat). When I 'copy' a clip (including the 'graphic equalizer 10 band') in a finished sequence, and then just 'paste attributes' to a new clip in a new sequence, the graphic equalizer effect doesn't paste, but the other effects do paste. I'd like to not have to reset the EQ each time. The sequence settings are the same, and the new clip is from the same iphone camera/mic. I have also tried copying just the 'graphic equalizer 10 band' effect from the effect controls in the finished clip, then pasting into the effect controls of the new clip, also with no success. Am I doing something wrong/ is this not possible? Thanks! Specs:
