Can't get avatar toggles/dances to work

[cloverbeans]

hi all, i’m fairly new to unity and porting avatars to vrchat, and i’m trying to make custom dances, prop toggles, and facial expression toggles for this avatar, but when i go to test everything, nothing works. the avatar stays t-posing instead of dancing, the props remain invisible when toggling on, and the avatar’s face stays neutral when switching to different expressions. i’ve watched about 5 different tutorials and tried different methods, and it’s frustrating because nothing looks wrong, but i’m clearly missing something and i just don’t know what. please help, i feel like i’ve tried everything and i don’t know what else to do. here’s the avatar i need help with (i removed some custom dances due to them not working, so the only ones that are SUPPOSED to work are the default ones & the spooky month dance)
