MetaXR Plugin for Unreal 5.3 generates the VR Hands at a wrong and very un-natural angle!

I have tried to fix it for a long time,  thinking it was a problem at my end; but I just tried using the OpenXR Plugin and the hand is normal like it has been for all these years.   

The MetaXR plugin definitely has the VR Hands at an odd angle about 80 degrees downward, forcing the player to lift their wrist at an unnatural angle to point any tool or weapon.

      Thank you, But, everything is as it always was,  and it works as usual with OpenXR so it is not  problem with my setup but with MetaXR plugin,   I don't want to change my Skeletal,, because it will need to work with OpenXR after build and testing,. (MetaXR is not really for final Production build..)  thanks tho.

      That did it, amazing thank you!   I appreciate that 🙂

       

      (If anyone else is looking it is in Project Settings,  Plugins section, MetaXR, General, then 'Pose Alignment'.)
