The [Unreal Engine default](https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/UnrealEngine.gitignore) `.gitignore` ignores plugin binary files which may be contributing to the issue.

```auto
# Binary Files
Binaries/*
Plugins/*/Binaries/* 

```

However, adding a C++ class to your project is recommended to avoid this issue in the future.
