Need Help With Making a Custom Aim Animation

[MADxELLIOTT]

Hello, I'm still pretty new to modding and I'm working on making an animation mod for the first time. I'm having trouble getting the animation to work in game after I've made it in blender & nifskope. I think there may be some details I'm missing or messing up on would appreciate some guidance in how to change an animation properly.

 

The animation I am modding is the animation for aiming a pistol (1hpaimis in mesh files). The furthest progress I made resulted in T-posing instead of the aiming animation. I have been following these instructions mainly along with other tips https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Creating_character_animations.

 

Thanks in advance.
