Soul Laser Base not generating souls despite the warden being damaged and the animation playing.

Playing on the all the mons beta.

Hello all, I just finished building out a soul laser base with 44 laser drills and a blue lens. All of it has max tier 4 upgrades. I have the warden. The laser base is placed with a 3 block gap between the stasis chambers and the laser base. The warden is being repeatedly damaged and there are the "soul" animation coming out of it. I also made sure the warden was done with its spawn animation before grabbing it with the creature collector.

The problem is, the machine is not actually generating any souls. I have a storage bus connected to a wireless connector, but even when I disconnect the ME system the machine sits at 0% souls collected. I do not have a way to get a screenshot at the moment but I can if requested. Im at a complete loss.

The only thing that seems weird with my setup is that the warden seems to float a half block above the stasis chamber. No matter how I place him he floats.
