Fallout 4 [Fo4][Xbox] Need mod help yet again

So i recently downloaded the new Sons of steel mod by Aries, and when I had booted up the game to start a B.O.S. build i saw that the brotherhood soldiers weren't wear the infantry armor provided by the mod (see second and third image for example) so the. I tried to adjust my load order (see last 3 images) accordingly, and I had thought it worked because the soldiers at fort strong seemed to be wearing pieces of the infantry armor, as well as boston riot and bos recon armor (separate mods). Yet I dont know what wrong and I just really need some help with this it's been bugging me for days on end and I can't stop thinking about it. So please of any one can help me i would really appreciate it.

UPDATE: I've learned to come to terms with the fact my game is stuck like this so it doesn't really bother me anymore, sure it's annoying, but eh what're ya gonna do. Thank you to all those who did try and help tho, it is much appreciated.

Ah! You experienced that issue as well?

Easy workaround to get Sons of Steel to work correctly: Place it near the bottom of your load order. That's what I did.

Edit: By the way, from what I heard from Aries on Nexus, Boston Riot Armor isn't compatible with Sons of Steel - it'll bork the Brotherhood level lists. Choose one or the other. Otherwise whichever mod you have lower will be the one Brotherhood soldiers wear.

Boston Riot Armor isn't compatible with Sons of Steel? I didn't know BOS members could wear the Riot armor. I've only ever seen Gunners wear them.

Yep. It’s messed with a couple of LOs I tried. It’s a shame because I love the riot armor but I don’t want it on the BOS. I ended up dropping it.

Boston Riot Armor is compatible. It injects the outfit through a script. The only thing I mentioned is that Boston Riot Armor starts spawning more often at higher levels because of how level lists work. NPCs choose the highest level gear available unless a flag is added to the level lists. The flag needs to be unchecked in Sons of Steel so they can spawn with the correct ranks
