Need help with Re-target Skeleton tool

pholland1

I got the daz rig into the new maya scene. 

the basic controls were showing. I thon opened Daz studio Tools for maya and tried to update the rig like the "Daz Bridges Tutorial: Daz to Maya 1.6" showed. but at best it just added a hip controller and at worst didnt connect the skeleton to the mesh.

I tried looking in the forums and found a few pages that i thought could help but were ultimately a dead end. 

this thread seemed to have the same issue but for maya 2022

has anyone figured out what the issue?
