Cannot read variable from Actor Component

I am struggling to retrieve a float from an Actor Component blueprint into one of my widget blueprints. The ContaminationTime variable, the one I’m trying to read in the widget BP is set public. Here is my situation:

Trying to read ContaminationTime float from this BP(Actor Component):

Using the values from ContaminationTime float from the other BP^ into this one, however this float ALWAYS returns 0.0 on print string.

This is my component variable located in my InventoryHUD BP that I’m attempting to read into.
