Starfinder mech sheet attack macros?

So I've gotten a Starfinder game that's mech centric, haven't played it in a while and wanted to go back to my roots. the mech sheet fill out is pretty simple to get figured out, everything automates to the values wonderfully, there's just one problem. there doesn't seem to be a means of actually clicking the weapon to roll the mech attack. I have the plasma sword for example, all the right fields, even have the damage set to "High E and F" and all the fields are nicely filled out, health and shields fill out nicely, abilities seem good. I just can't get the sheet to roll attacks, anyone have this figured out? would really appreciate some insight, I really hope it's just me overlooking a detail I missed.

Hi Niviryd Guardian of Lore,  Could you screenshot your mech sheet so I can try to reproduce the problem?  Please focus on any attributes you think would be useful, and on the attack area of the sheet that is having the problem. 
ok, i'll do that, but as I'm getting this I think i may see the problem. the two characters involved only have their names filled, not their actual stats, plus one of them is an NPC. no idea if that'll do anything for this but knowing the automation that does make some amount of sense to me. here's the screenshots of everything i have configured into the sheet. In specific, the Plasma sword, when I click on it, even when closed, no response comes up, no prompts for modifiers or additional attack steps, no chat marker shows up showing a calculated hit or damage.  If this is because of non filled out character sheets I'll get that going, but the strange part is, usually when clicking on a weapon that's not properly linked, the chat would give me an error message, for this one, nothing shows up.    This screenshot is just for knowledge of how everything is filled out. if not necessary than ignore. This screenshot has the section that is having the issue, the plasma sword doesn't bring up anything for an attack, even when the editing section is closed. no errors, no warnings, just, nothing happens. The following two sheets are in case of the need for information here, if not necessary than ignore.
Update: I figured it out, and I feel so stupid over this. It turns out you have to have at least one operator in the mech with stats filled out in those fields in order to even get the attack prompt to show up. everything else works just fine on the sheet, Here's hoping someone else who faces this issue will see this and be able to solve this same issue. Ok, time to go run this game.  Thank you Gauss for looking into this, no idea what it was, but something about the instructions you gave so you can try and figure it out clicked in my brain and made things work. I swear sometimes I feel like I belong in the SCP foundation with all the weird crap my brain does XD
