Thanks for sending that through, the issue is easily reproducible using the provided project.  
I found that adding “/Game/FMOD/Events” to Project Settings\>Packaging\>Additional Asset Directories to Cook allowed `Find Event by Name` to return the correct event without requiring the additional unlinked `Play Event 2D` node.  
I think this is still part of the [aforementioned packaging issue](https://qa.fmod.com/t/some-sounds-missing-in-ue4-packaged-builds-but-work-fine-in-the-editor/16900/16) which should be fixed in the next version. For now, either continue using the `Play Event 2D` hack or try adding the following to Additional Asset Directories to Cook and we’ll see if the problem is still ocurring in the next FMOD version:

- /Game/FMOD/Banks
- /Game/FMOD/Buses
- /Game/FMOD/Events
- /Game/FMOD/Reverbs
- /Game/FMOD/Buses
- /Game/FMOD/VCAs
