(SE) PC won't open mouth for oral animations (or use expressions at all)

[The Song]

I've spent a dumb amount of time trying to figure out how to fix this at this point.

I tried installing https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/19181 like some threads said.

(Facial animation mod)
I've tried using https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/11669, https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/12919?tab=description, and both of those at the same time, like other threads said.
(mfg fix and opparco mfg) [Side question, although they don't fix this issue, should I keep one/both/which of these?]
I've tried using that first mod with one or both of the second two.
I've tried making a custom expression.

Despite trying everything I could think of and everything I found in preexisting threads on this topic, my PC's face won't move.
I have checked and found that NPCs do open their mouths, just not the PC.
I'm getting tired of watching things clip through my face because my mouth is stuck shut.

 

I don't know what's more annoying, the issue I can't solve, or all the threads with people saying they solved the same issue by doing something that doesn't help at all.

As trivial as the question may seem: in MCM> SexLAB Setting, have you activated the use of facial expressions?

Have you imported your expressions into SexLab> Import Expressions?

Yes and multiple times

Always without knowing if it has already been attempted:
When you import an expression, change all the values of the mouth to values between 40 and 50, this step should make it open, maybe too much or too little in this case, just make adjustments

 

In case you have installed ZAZ Animation Pack, in MCM> ZazAnimationpack> Slots> Mouth 2 expression 4. This will change the expression

It's not that the expressions don't have an open mouth, it's that I don't get to use the expressions.

I could assign every expression to max every value and look like some monstrosity, any my pc will look completely normal at all times because my face doesn't move.

Some people said installing mfg.fix would solve that, it doesn't. Some people said installing that expressive animations mod would, it doesn't.
Some people said using both fixes it, it doesn't.

(Personal opinion): Since our character is framed from the back or in the first person the face remains practically invisible unless we move with the shots (maybe it can be done differently but it is a fact that I ignore).

 

SGT's Facial Expression Batfiles   It is a series of TXTs, which it says should be used in dialogues, just open the console, type "bat xx", xx stands for the type of push and it will be replaced with the chosen code, press enter and the expression starts. Attention : is not for SSE so I don't know if it can work

 

SexLab Expressions - Submit MFG Presets   Here a series of suggestions for the use of facial expressions, also accompanied by the various activation data, but, having never used them, I don't know if they solve the problem.

Did you ever fix this issue? Im having the exact same problem, the mesh is there and so is the skeleton but for some reason the mouth will not move while the eyebrows move just fine

Did you make sure you have Address Library SKSE plugin installed?
