First time modding simple perk tweak issues

[ValtTechModerator]

Hey and thanks for your time.

I'm having my first go at creating a simple mod that tweaks the Lone wanderer perk in Fallout 4, I thought it made sense to add some slight experience bonus from kills if you are not with a companion (and add a bit of extra damage as well). Here's my steps:

1. Downloaded the creation kit
2. Set the Fallout 4 ESM as active
3. Searched for the Lone wanderer files
4. Added some effects at each rank and updated the descriptions
5. Saved as esp file into my Fallout 4/Data folder
6. Activated the plugin in vortex (interestingly it only showed under plugins and not mods)
7. Launched Fallout 4

However when I go to look at perks, the Lone wanderer perk now has a grey icon, the description doesn't match the original or my updated description and even the number or ranks is different!

In the game mods list it's showing as active and no conflicts are showing in vortex either.

I've attached the generated esp file, if anyone has any pointers on what I have done wrong it would be much appreciated!

Many thanks in advance!
