Geckolib Animated Item resulting in a textureless cube (Crashout)

(I AM ON THE LATEST VERSION AS OF NOW FOR BOTH MCREATOR AND GECKOLIB. (Mcreator 2024.4 and Geckolib v6.0.2 (The version that is only compatible with Mcreator 2024.4)

 

I've been losing it dawg, I've put myself through Geckolib HELL THROUGH THE PAST 4 HOURS.

I have a Geckolib model, an arm cannon, 4 animations, multiple of which utilising the first person arm rendering. I.e., using the left arm to stabilise the right arm.

HOWEVER. I've encountered a huge problem when actually going through with my weapon in Mcreator itself. Whenever I try to import everything, it comes up as nothing but a textureless cube.

Note, this was shortly after the model was actually working. I was just making a few adjustments to the arms in an attempt to fix a little glitch in their position. And boom, suddenly doesn't work. The animations were working before hand and everything, even the simple procedures I had added in order to make it charge up.

But EVERYTHING I have tried afterwards, restarting my PC (3 TIMES), restarting Mcreator, clearing my cache, remaking the ENTIRE texture, redoing the display, triple checking the model type I had set up, renaming the arms and every little piece of my cannon, and on and on and on and on. And I'm officially completely stumped. I've been on multiple forums here looking for an answer to the point where I'm resorting to my own forum. No error, no pop ups, no nothing. And at this point I am genuinely convinced this is an issue with Geckolib itself.

Here, look.

Here's the model when it was actually working:

 

What it's like now:

 

The new updated model:

 

And other relevant things:

The Project Tab, showing that I've checked the model type AND gotten it correct.

Showing how I've got the scale of the arms correct, and split everything in their respective, easily identifiable groups.

Animations, although I doubt these're too relevant.

The relevant front page of my Cannon.

 

Even if it's just someone experiencing the same issues I am, or genuine help. I'm grateful, as this has been really getting under my skin. 

I'm really sorry for ranting and that, but I just can't help it.
