Missing 2 Pipes in puzzle

[kiyrah]

In the pipe puzzle there should be 4 pipes. My game is missing 2 (as they are not there). I have looked through several walk-through videos/post and all say the 2 pipes are in the same spots, only when I go to them, there is no pipe there. Anyone else have this issue? If so, how did you solve it? If I cannot complete this puzzle to I just backtrack out of the tomb? I have completely shut down my game then restarted as well. Not much help on the Bethesda website either. Thanks in advance. :)

one pipe on the floor
Two up on a ledge to the right and left
one down a open dark room too the right
one down the closed room on the left.

Yep. And the corner piece is not in the dark room. Where is should be is just a blank space between the pipes (nothing to grab). No pipe on the floor in the main room anywhere. Walk-throughs were saying there were 2 pipes up on the ledge but I only found one. They are literally missing, lol.

Ok, i remembered wrong. Two of the pipes are on the ledges one on each side.

If two of the pipes are truly missing guess you have restore an earlier save hope for the best. (shouldn't be that far back)
Restarting the game usually helps fixing these glitching things.

So I'm an idiot. I figured it out. Because I have it on story mode, there is literally only 2 pipes. I just had to turn one in the proper direction and the story progressed. I just thought it odd as every other puzzle is the same as the walk-throughs no matter the difficulty. Thank you for all your help, though. Really appreciate it. *facepalm*

What? Now that is funny!
I had no idea puzzles even worked like that in the game in lower "difficulty"., only thought it was less hints on more difficulty.
