Strange custom grenade explosion teleporting to player

As part of my cut fallout 3 restoration mod. I reimplemented the molotov & Nuka Cocktails (yes bottles) The ones cut of course, not to mistake the NukaCocktail internal name of the Nuka Grenade. I also added a Concussion Grenade using unused concussion sound data. Besides the concussion one all assets such as textures and meshes are in the game for the cocktails. To make them as I want truth to the game I created them the custom explosion just like all other grenades have and their projectile. They all work perfect even the nukacocktail with a custom blue flame.

However here's the tiny detail:

The explosion happens on the players location. Not on the player but on the player location despite visually being thrown miles away from the player both in free target and in VATS. If thrown and you move away from the location then you get to see the explosion happen where you last were standing.

Nearly all the data is based on the other grenades that work for comparison so most of the changes have been simply cosmetic.

 

Is there an explanation why the grenade is visually thrown at a specific area or target yet the explosion and therefore grenade warning pop in the player's last standing location? Neither the explosion nor projectile nor the weapon have any scripts to mess with the explosion or radius.

 

Is it because they use the trapgasburst file in the art file for the explosion? This is the art or visual not the explosion.

Thanks for the help. No need to bother. I fixed the issue and it took me quite a while but i'm finally over with that frustration. The problem was not any of my settings or code. It was a game default fault from factory or rather a developer error or unfinished asset. Other than that I'll keep the solution to myself. Nothing to see now. Let the post sink into obscurity.

I would be interested in the solution if you want to share. Either here or via PM. The Molotov is something I wanted to add to my personal mod but passed on because I thought it may be problematic. Apparently I guessed correctly on the potential problem factor.
