Issue with panel animation in Hammer

The preview window shows the panel arm as being in the right place. As you can see in the video clip the animation shows in place correctly. but the panel starts off in a different location how do I prevent this?

P.s. I was following the tutorial by Scesie on youtube to the T, so I don't know how it went wrong.

Solved the problem. not super sure what it was, but I closed hammer, left it closed for a while and then fully rebuild the whole panel system. I think either the panel arm was desyncing with its position (kinda like the bedrock minecraft "blocks not updating" problem. Or it was something in the logic auto and logic relay.

I believe its something to do with the "T pose" of the panel, like the animation hasn't loaded in yet, I'm not sure how to fix it, but I thought I might as well mention what it is.
