yeah, the shield is actually part of the armour category in a sense, so you want to add the shield through the outfit tree..

 

in other words, object window --> Outifts --> create new outfit or edit existing outfit --> add desired shield --> Press ok/Save.. --> go to npc actor then the inventory tab --> select thee edited or new attire (the shield should be in the right box next to the outfit list)

 

and voila!!

 

if that is not the case, it is most likely a meshing error of somesort, did you combine mods with tesnip? maybe there may have been an error there
