Almost all armor mods are invisible but exist in world

[thanks for the free head dumbass]

I am running into a new problem after doing a fresh install of Kenshi, reorganizing my load order based on a guide. Game seems to be running fine but I started to notice NPC's such as UC Samurai half-naked-- due to some distributed armor mod piece-- and armor from the cannibal expanded mod is being worn by cannibals, but they are missing icons/textures/models completely.

I scanned through the kenshi.log as best I could and theres a few lines like this:

19:57:12: OGRE EXCEPTION(6:FileNotFoundException): Failed to load model for BH (Heavy) Leather: '' in RenderToTextureotron::createItemModel() at rttIcons.cpp (line 238)

None of this really makes sense to me because those mods worked fine before, and now with a fresh wipe they don't. But some other armor mods do work. For some reason.

Here is my load order:

Any help would be greatly appreciated I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a while lol

Does anyone else having the same problem from using the same mods? Worth checking out the affected mods forum for this.
