I may have a quick fix. Try setting the child actor class on a separate node “Set Child Actor Class” instead of setting it in the main node properties. Check it here: Child Actor self duplicating bug [DEMO PROJECT] - Programming & Scripting - Unreal Engine Forums

Let me know if it helped you. I hope so.

Happy Developing.
