Animation isnt working when motor even when motor connected to torso

[simplyjustbased]

working on a viewmodel and when i attach the gun’s motor onto the torso it doesnt play with the animation

this is what its supposed to look like

and this is what happens

the gun just doesnt move with the viewmodel even when i attach it
with
HoldMotor.Part0 = Vm.Viewmodel:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso")

Could still use some help on figuring this out

trying to test it and it seems that if the tool/gunmodel isnt in the viewmodel it doesnt actually register it for some reason. no idea for a workaround for this although.
