Organ does not seem to exist

Hello! I'm using the docked DS and I am currently working on two geng projects: Plant norns (get glucose using photosynthesis instead of eating) and one with a bunch of miscellaneous changes to fix pet peeves. Both of these seem to have trouble with their organs being recognised.

The Plant norns have an organ called 'Chlorophyll', which has a few reactions for photosynthesis. The official biochemistry kit shows that the organ exists, but xray+ shows nothing and there are no signs of the reaction happening.

The other norns have a uterus even if male. This is a fix for a problem where non-binary norns get pregnant but cannot lay the egg (I usually have the Nornbinary update active). Instead, I made a male-only gene that makes testosterone damage the uterus. However, although 21 organs are showing in biochemistry, xray+ doesn't show it and seems to think the Timeline is being killed instead. After it died, I tried lowering Life and the Norn aged up. [nquestion]

Xray+ does not seem to be the problem since it acknowledges the existences of organs on Norns that I have downloaded.

Does anyone know how to make organs display and work correctly, assuming that there are valid genes inside?

Xray+ doesn't know what each organ is, it has no way to tell the heart apart from the timeline, so instead it relies on a catalogue file which lists the organs in order. This causes problems with all modded breeds that add new organs, especially if they're added into the middle of the genome, like the thermal regulation organ in TWB/TCB. To "fix" this you need to make a new catalogue file, which will then be incompatible with other genomes.

On a side note, my Thistleferns do the same thing as your plant norns, I wonder how similar they are!
